Lions sign Jahmyr Gibbs to $67.5 million three-year deal
The Detroit Lions signed running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a three-year contract worth $67. 5 million, according to Pride Of Detroit. NBC Sports reported the deal includes rolling guarantees, limited option bonuses and performance incentives that give the Lions slightly higher annual average salary than the Falcons' Bijan Robinson and provide flexibility under the salary cap. The agreement follows a series of high-value contracts for running backs in the league.
ESPN reported that the Atlanta Falcons agreed to a three-year extension with Bijan Robinson valued at up to $75 million, making him the highest-paid at the position. NBC Sports later detailed a five-year deal that guarantees $37. 6 million over the first three years, underscoring the market shift that Lions officials said could influence Gibbs' negotiations.
