Jahmyr Gibbs will make $14.29 million in 2027 after the Lions kept his option, while Jack Campbell must reach a new deal.
- On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions exercised the fifth-year option for Pro Bowl running back Jahmyr Gibbs while declining All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell's fifth-year option, according to a person familiar with the moves.
