The Detroit Lions will exercise the fifth-year option for running back Jahmyr Gibbs, but won't for All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Gibbs' fifth-year option for the 2027 season is valued at $14.29 million while Campbell's option was an estimated $21.925 million, which would've been more than the NFL's highest-paid off-ball linebacker.
The news on the option decisions was first reported by Fox 2 Detroit.
Few players in the NFL's long history have had a better start to their career than the 24-year-old Gibbs, and he is set to take on a more prominent role in 2026 after the Lions traded his backfield mate David Montgomery to the Houston Texans.
