It appears Jack Campbell will be a Detroit Lion for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n
As first reported by Sweta Patel\u2014and later confirmed by the player himself (and the team)\u2014the Lions linebacker has agreed to a long-term extension. Details were not initially available, but the team announced he is now signed through the 2030 season. That makes it officially a four-year extension for the All-Pro linebacker.<\/p>\n
Campbell, one of the Lions\u2019 two first-round picks in 2023, has been one of the biggest playmakers on Detroit\u2019s defense over the past few years. And after taking over play-calling duties and the departure of linebacker Alex Anzalone, it\u2019s safe to say he\u2019s one of the most important leaders on that side of the ball, as well.<\/p>\n
In three years, Campbell has produced 402 tackles, 8.5 sacks, four passes defended, three forced fumbles, and 19 tackles for loss.<\/p>\n
Campbell becomes the first of four players from the Lions\u2019 2023 draft class likely to get an extension from the team. Lions general manager Brad Holmes has already expressed an interest in extending running back Jahmyr Gibbs, safety Brian Branch, and tight end Sam LaPorta, as well. As of now, it\u2019s unclear how much progress they\u2019ve made on each of those players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It appears Jack Campbell will be a Detroit Lion for the foreseeable future.
