Jack Campbell contract details: Where Lions All-Pro ranks among LBs
Key Points:
- Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell signed a four-year contract extension worth $81 million, including $51.5 million guaranteed, keeping him under contract through the 2030 NFL season.
- Campbell's average annual salary of $20.25 million ranks him just behind Fred Warner, the highest-paid linebacker by average earnings at $21 million per year.
- His total contract value ranks second among NFL linebackers, trailing only Roquan Smith's five-year, $100 million deal signed in 2023.
- Campbell's guaranteed money places him third among linebackers, behind Roquan Smith and Fred Warner, despite being three years younger than the top four highest-paid linebackers.
- The deal reflects a market-level contract set three years ago, marking a significant win for the Lions given Campbell's youth and continued improvement as one of the league's best off-ball linebackers.
