Rotoworld Player News

Jack Campbell

DET Linebacker #46

Lions signed LB Jack Campbell to a four-year extension through 2030.

Campbell, 25, was set to enter free agency in 2027 after the Lions declined to exercise Campbell’s fifth-year option in April. Instead, the team’s leader in tackles will stick around. Campbell’s 110 tackles are 42 more than the next closest Lions defender. He also banked 17 quarterback pressures, five sacks and two pass breakups. The deal is reportedly worth $81 million.
Cedrick Wilson

DET Wide Receiver #19

Lions signed WR Cedrick Wilson, formerly of the Dolphins.

Wilson signed a two-year deal with the Saints in 2024. They cut him after one season and he bounced between their practice squad and active roster for the first month of the year. Miami then poached him off their practice squad after Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending injury. Wilson appeared in 10 games for Miami and totaled five catches for 44 yards. Wilson isn’t much more than a depth option at this point in his career. He will be fighting for a roster spot in training camp.
Caleb Williams

CHI Quarterback #18

The Bears will face the Lions in the first game of Thanksgiving Day.

As Schefter notes, this is the second time these two teams have faced each other on Thanksgiving in the past three years. The game will be played in Detroit as the first of the usual three-game setup on Thanksgiving. With both teams eying an NFC North title, this game will almost certainly have considerable playoff implications. It will also be another installment in Ben Johnson’s grudge match with his former team.
Drake Maye

NE Quarterback #10

Patriots will face the Lions in Munich, Germany on November 15.

It’s a matchup of two potentially high-powered offenses for the NFL’s annual Munich matchup. This will mark the Pats’ second trip to Munich — they played in the first-ever Munich regular season game — and the organization’s sixth overall international game. Drake Maye will look to continue his hyper-efficient ways in 2026 while Jared Goff and the Lions look to bounce back from a down 2025 campaign in which the team ranked ninth in EPA per play and 12th in success rate, just behind the Bengals and Bears.
Kendrick Law

DET Wide Receiver

Lions signed WR Kendrick Law to a four-year contract.

Law’s probably well behind Isaac TeSlaa in the race to be Detroit’s No. 3 receiver in 2026. He profiles as a steady backup between the special teams play and receiving acumen. He’ll likely be trying to replace Kalif Raymond as much as anyone else.
Blake Miller

DET Tackle

Lions signed first-round RT Blake Miller to a four-year rookie contract with a fifth-year option.

Miller will clearly have a chance to step in right away as the bookend on the other side of Penei Sewell, it did seem like the Lions were leaning towards having Sewell play left tackle this offseason. Rookie tackles are not exactly a dependable source of solid play right away, but Miller’s career at Clemson leads us to believe he’ll have a decent floor right away, which should help the Lions pass protection and run game this season.
Jimmy Rolder

DET Linebacker

Lions signed LB Jimmy Rolder to a four-year, $5.532 million contract.

The rookie fourth-round selection gets $1.152 million in guaranteed money after being taken by the Lions with the No. 118 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Rolder should initially serve as a rotational piece but could work his way up to a starting role in short order if former sixth-rounder Malcolm Rodriguez is slow out of the gate.
Joe Bachie

DET Linebacker #48

Lions signed LB Joe Bachie, formerly of the Titans.

Deroitr also announced the signing of DT Jay Tufele, formerly of the Jets. Bachie was released by the Colts a month into the 2025 season but landed in Tennessee for 10 games. He is primarily a special teamer. Tufele appeared in a dozen games with two starts last year. He logged 12 combined tackles.
Jack Campbell

DET Linebacker #46

Lions declined to pick up LB Jack Campbell’s fifth-year option.

The fifth-year option and franchise tag grouping of positions strikes again. Campbell would have received $21.9 million if Detroit picked up the option due to the amount of pure EDGE players that are factored into the equation — it’s essentially the same reason why the Packers declined Quay Walker’s fifth-year option last year and lost him in free agency. The Lions reportedly were trying to strike a long-term extension with Campbell — this doesn’t seem like a true signal on that so much as the natural outcome of not wanting to head into negotiations with that figure over Brad Holmes’ head.
Jahmyr Gibbs

DET Running Back #0

Lions exercised RB Jahmyr Gibbs’ fifth-year option for 2027.

Gibbs will be under contract for $14.23 million in 2027 per OverTheCap’s projections. Gibbs and the Lions will undoubtedly continue to discuss a long-term extension over the summer and perhaps in to training camp, with Gibbs and Bijan Robinson expected to reset the market at the running back position. Gibbs and Robinson, coincidentally, are the two most obvious 1.1 candidates in most fantasy football leagues.
