Lions, Gibbs Contract Talks Expected Soon

The Lions are expected to negotiate a new contract with running back Jahmyr Gibbs soon, following Bijan Robinson's record-setting deal with the Falcons. However, Robinson's $22.25 million average annual salary may become an impediment as the running back market continues to lag.

Gibbs can point to his elite production, including 1,929 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns in 2025, to bolster his case for a top-tier contract. The Lions, having moved on from David Montgomery, are likely to rely heavily on Gibbs, but they may cite the market as justification for a deal around $23 million per year or less. turconews.click
