Gibbs Holds Out for Historic RB Deal | Detroit Lions News
Description
Jahmyr Gibbs is holding out from practice as contract talks with the Detroit Lions stall, but he’s still present — and his holdout could reshape the entire running back market. With the Lions already extending other stars, Gibbs is poised for a massive deal, likely over $20M annually, potentially making him the highest-paid RB in the league. He’s not alone — Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor are also pushing for new contracts, setting the stage for a historic revaluation of the position long undervalued. The race to sign first could reset benchmarks across the NFL, while the Lions desperately need Gibbs locked in to maintain their explosive offense after trading David Montgomery and relying on him to carry the load. With Sam LaPorta back and Amon-Ra St. Brown thriving, the team’s future hinges on resolving this negotiation quickly — and the league is watching every move.
