Gibbs contract target set by Robinson's new deal

With Bijan Robinson securing a $22.25 million new-money APY, the contract value for running backs has risen, creating a new benchmark for Jahmyr Gibbs' negotiations.

Falcons running back Bijan Robinson's new contract raises the new-money APY for the position to $22.25 million, setting a potential ceiling for Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Both players possess similar skill sets and impacts, suggesting Gibbs will aim for the maximum value of $25 million per year. The 'new-money' metric folds existing salaries into future years, making Robinson's deal a crucial data point as Gibbs seeks his own long-term extension. tbzikra.com
