The Detroit Lions and running back Jahmyr Gibbs agree to a contract extension that makes him the highest-paid running back in the NFL, following similar market-setting moves for other top backs. Multiple outlets report the deal is a three-year agreement valued at $67.5 million. Yahoo Sports also reports the contract includes potential total value that can reach $75.75 million, depending on conditions. The Athletic frames the timing as a continuation of the Lions’ recent negotiations, noting that after Bijan Robinson secured his extension, it became a matter of time before the team and Gibbs struck a new deal. Other reports describe “substantial progress” toward the extension before the agreement is finalized. Collectively, the coverage indicates Gibbs’ new contract surpasses the prior high-water mark for running back pay set by players such as Bijan Robinson, and it keeps Gibbs in Detroit. The reports also present the extension as finalized once the agreement is reached, with multiple outlets highlighting it as a record-setting development for the running back market.
