Tyson Campbell Signs Mega Extension With Jaguars

We here at Vendetta were massive fans of Tyson Campbell coming into the 2021 NFL Draft and he’s been a total hit for Jacksonville since that time. Campbell is emerging as one of the better young cornerbacks in the league and the Jags are rewarding him for those efforts.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network was the first to report the news:

Sources: #Jaguars CB Tyson Campbell is signing a 4-year, $76.5M extension that includes $53.4M effectively guaranteed.

He is now the highest-paid CB in NFL history that had yet to be named to a Pro Bowl in a deal negotiated by Todd France and Kyle McCarthy of @AthletesFirst. pic.twitter.com/IKiochkuhz

“Tyson is a young, talented player who is an integral part of our defense and core member of our locker room,” Jaguars General Manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. “He is a consummate professional on and off the field and we are confident that his best lies ahead. We have consistently messaged the importance of extending our core players and this is another step forward in honoring that commitment.”

“I’m blessed to stay in Jacksonville and thankful God is allowing me to continue building something special with my brothers on the field and in the community,” Campbell said. “I want to thank the Jaguars for making my NFL dreams come true three years ago and for still believing in me today.”
