The Detroit Lions have signed linebacker Jack Campbell to a contract extension, the All-Pro defender announced Thursday.

It's a four-year contract, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The total value of the deal isn't yet known.

"I'm excited to be here long term," Campbell said. "Now, it's time to go win a Super Bowl."

The Lions declined the fifth-year option on Campbell's rookie contract this offseason. The option was worth an estimated $21.92 million, which would've made him the NFL's highest-paid off-ball linebacker.

The 25-year-old racked up 176 tackles (nine for loss), five sacks, four pass breakups, and three forced fumbles last season. He's appeared in every game since the Lions drafted him 18th overall in 2023.

Detroit's 2023 draft class has excelled. In addition to Campbell, it features Pro Bowlers in running back Jahmyr Gibbs, tight end Sam LaPorta, and safety Brian Branch. Campbell is the first one to receive a multi-year extension.
