All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell agreed to terms on a contract extension with the Detroit ​Lions on Thursday.

Financial terms ‌were not disclosed by the team on the deal, however NFL Network reported it was a four-year contract ‌that ​extends through the ⁠2030 season.

“I signed ⁠my extension. I’m excited to be back. I’m excited to be here long term,” Campbell said ​in a video posted by the team. “Now it’s time ⁠to go win a ⁠Super Bowl. Go Lions.”

The ​move comes nearly one month after ​the Lions opted against picking ‌up the fifth-year option of Campbell. The option would have paid Campbell an estimated $21.925 million.

Campbell, ⁠25, earned All-Pro first-team and Pro Bowl honors last season with career highs ⁠in tackles (176), ‌sacks (five) and forced ⁠fumbles (three) in 17 starts.

He has ​402 ‌tackles and 8.5 sacks ​through 51 ⁠games (46 starts) since being selected by the Lions with the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Iowa.
