Jahmyr Gibbs has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Detroit Lions that will make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history.
The deal is worth up to $75.7 million, averaging $22.5 million per year, according to multiple reports. Gibbs' new contract surpasses the record set by Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson, who signed his own historic extension just three days earlier.
The back-to-back deals cap a remarkable week for NFL running backs, a position that has seen a surge in big-money contracts. Gibbs, a key playmaker for the Lions, now carries added expectations as Detroit pushes for a Super Bowl berth.
