Miller reports that Campbell is a part of the Lions&#8217; 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&#8217;s fifth-year option would be $21.925 million, per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/player\/_\/id\/82295\/jack-campbell\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Spotrac;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Spotrac&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Spotrac<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/detroit-lions\/334\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Lions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Lions&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Lions<\/a>\u00a0coverage, follow us on X,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thelionswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@TheLionsWire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;@TheLionsWire&quot;}\" class=\"link \">@TheLionsWire<\/a>, and give our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lionswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Facebook&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page a like.\u00a0Follow Josh on X,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JoshOnLions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:@JoshOnLions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;@JoshOnLions&quot;}\" class=\"link \">@JoshOnLions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Lions Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/lionswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2026\/04\/28\/detroit-lions-picking-up-jahmyr-gibbs-fifth-year-option\/89842137007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Detroit Lions picking up Jahmyr Gibbs&#039; fifth-year option;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Detroit Lions picking up Jahmyr Gibbs&#039;&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Detroit Lions picking up Jahmyr Gibbs&#8217; fifth-year option<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Per Fox 2 Detroit&#8217;s Dan Miller, the Detroit Lions are picking up the fifth-year option on running back&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":877247,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2071],"tags":[118752,146,113,2506,7,87988,16688,1674,147,6,1261],"class_list":["post-877246","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-lions","tag-dan-miller","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-lions","tag-detroitlions","tag-football","tag-fox-2-detroit","tag-jack-campbell","tag-jahmyr-gibbs","tag-lions","tag-nfl","tag-option"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116484420964369820","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877246","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=877246"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/877246\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/877247"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=877246"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=877246"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=877246"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
