Per Fox 2 Detroit’s Dan Miller, the Detroit Lions are picking up the fifth-year option on running back Jahmyr Gibbs.
Per Spotrac, Gibbs’ fifth-year option would pay the star running back $14.293 million in the 2027 season. Gibbs carries a $5.67 million cap hit this coming season in the final year of his current four-year, $17.85 million contract.
According to Miller, the Lions will not pick up the fifth-year option on linebacker Jack Campbell. Miller reports that Campbell is a part of the Lions’ plans going forward, but that it makes more sense under the cap to get a longer deal done with Campbell versus locking in a fifth-year option in 2027. Campbell’s fifth-year option would be $21.925 million, per Spotrac.
