Show Notes
The Detroit Lions young star running back, Jahmyr Gibbs, is set for a massive contract extension, potentially making him the highest-paid runner in the NFL. Drafted in 2023, Gibbs has quickly become one of the leagues top backs, amassing over 5,000 yards and 49 touchdowns in just 49 games. The Lions have already exercised his fifth-year option and are negotiating a long-term deal, buoyed by his impressive play and potential. Despite his size concerns, Gibbs has proven himself a rare talent, and a recent Bleacher Report projection suggests a three-year extension worth $63.5 million, averaging over $21 million per year. With this deal looming, the Lions are expected to prioritize cap space for their homegrown stars and stay quiet in free agency.
