Lions Exercise Fifth-Year Option on RB Jahmyr Gibbs for 2027 Season

The Detroit Lions have officially exercised the fifth-year option on running back Jahmyr Gibbs, securing his contract through the 2027 season. Following the 2026 NFL Draft, Gibbs has surged to the forefront of initial fantasy football rankings, reflecting his status as a premier offensive weapon. While the team solidified Gibbs' future, they notably declined the option for teammate Jack Campbell. Gibbs is expected to maintain a high-impact role as the offseason progresses.
