The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised a $12m option on Pro Bowl defensive end Calais Campbell for 2019.

The team also picked up options on defensive end and special teams captain Lerentee McCray and back-up safety Cody Davis on Monday.

Campbell signed a four-year, $60m contract with Jacksonville in March 2017. The deal included $30m guaranteed.

He has made the Pro Bowl in both seasons with the Jaguars, totaling 139 tackles, 25 sacks and four forced fumbles.

Campbell will count $14.5m against the salary cap next season.

The former Miami Hurricanes and Arizona Cardinals star said at the Pro Bowl in Orlando last month that the Jaguars had informed him they planned to keep him around in 2019.

The 32-year-old veteran is a team captain and one of the team's most dependable defenders.
