## Resource

Detroit Lions lock up linebacker Jack Campbell with a massive contract extension, making him the NFL’s second-highest-paid inside linebacker. Does this bold move put pressure on Campbell and raise the Lions’ Super Bowl hopes? Matt Dery breaks down the $81 million deal, compares Campbell to stars like Fred Warner, Roquan Smith, and Zach Baun, and examines what this contract signals about Detroit’s draft-develop-retain strategy under GM Brad Holmes. Key topics include Detroit’s future free agency plans, potential fits like Jadeveon Clowney, and NBC Sports’ latest NFL GM rankings with Brad Holmes landing in the top 10. Listener “call of the day” spotlights why the Lions haven’t leaned into two-back sets with David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs—will that change with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing? Tune in for insights on the Lions’ defensive evolution, roster depth, and what might come next in the offseason.
