Lions' Campbell Fifth-Year Option at $21.9M

The NFL has set the 2026 salary cap at $301.2 million, up $22 million from last year. This confirms earlier projections and secures franchise tag numbers and fifth-year options for first-round picks from the 2023 draft. For the Detroit Lions, this means significant implications for their two first-round picks from that class, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jack Campbell. Gibbs fifth-year option is set at $14.293 million, while Campbells is higher at $21.925 million. The Lions, who are not expected to use the franchise tag this offseason, may consider skipping Campbells option if talks for a full extension stall due to its steep cost, which even surpasses some defensive end options at the same level. Teams have until May 1st to decide on these options, so expect more clarity soon as the Lions plan their cap space ahead. Support the showGet a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
