JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed CB Tyson Campbell to a contract extension, the team announced today.
“Tyson is a young, talented player who is an integral part of our defense and core member of our locker room,” said General Manager Trent Baalke. “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.”

He has appeared in 43 games with 42 starts and recorded 204 total tackles (146 solo), 30 passes defensed, six interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. In 2022, Campbell recorded career-highs with 70 tackles (55 solo), 15 passes defensed and three interceptions. Campbell’s six interceptions since his rookie season in 2021 are tied for eighth in the AFC among cornerbacks.
