Jaguars' Campbell inks extension reportedly worth $76.5M
The Jacksonville Jaguars announced they've signed cornerback Tyson Campbell to an extension Tuesday.
The four-year deal is worth $76.5 million and includes $53.4 million guaranteed, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Campbell, 24, becomes the highest-paid non-Pro Bowl cornerback in league history, per Rapoport.
The Georgia product was a second-round selection of the Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft. He's made 42 starts across 43 games.
Campbell's best season came during his 2022 campaign where he recorded 70 tackles, 15 passes defended, three interceptions, and two tackles for loss. He recorded six tackles during Jacksonville's run to the AFC divisional round.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound defensive back had a down year in 2023 due to a hamstring and quadriceps injury.
Considered one of the top corners in the Jaguars' secondary, Campbell is expected to be a crucial piece for new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.
Campbell has compiled 203 tackles, six picks, six TFLs, and two forced fumbles in three seasons.
Jacksonville has been proactive in re-signing its key contributors. The Jags extended quarterback Trevor Lawrence for five years and $275 million in June and inked pass-rusher Josh Hines-Allen to a five-year, $141.25-million deal in April.
