\n

It’s been a big week for NFL running backs who have been stuffing their bank accounts with one big contract after another. And, true to the idiom, Detroit Lions<\/a> running back Jahmyr Gibbs saved the best for last.<\/p>\n

Gibbs agreed on Thursday evening to a three-year deal worth $67.5 million that includes $51.5 million in guaranteed money. The deal was announced by agent Todd France, who represents Gibbs, on his Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gibbs will be averaging an NFL-high $22.5 million per season on an annual average basis.<\/p>\n

That’s understandable because he has turned the running back spot into a playmaking position at heights not really seen in Detroit since Barry Sanders did his thing back in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Gibbs has scored 39 rushing touchdowns in his first three seasons. He also scored 10 more receiving touchdowns. He led the NFL with 20 total TDs from scrimmage in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Gibbs deal comes hours after Jonathan Taylor agreed to a two-year extension with the Indianapolis Colts that averages $22 million per season.<\/p>\n

The Gibbs deal also comes days after Bijan Robinson signed a deal with the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> that averages $22.25 million per season.<\/p>\n

Yes, big week for NFL running backs, as all of those players surpassed the Saquon Barkley<\/a> contract that averages $20.6 million per season and stood as the benchmark for the position since the 2025 offseason.<\/p>\n

So, is there any downside from any of this?<\/p>\n

Well, for the Detroit Lions it signals them doing something very familiar in that they draft well and pay to keep their own players.<\/p>\n

They have now extended Gibbs, Aidan Hutchinson, Jack Campbell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Penei Sewell, Jameson Williams, Alim McNeill and Kerby Joseph \u2014 all good players the team selected in the draft.<\/p>\n

And the Lions have used that expensive talent to win the NFC North in 2023, ending a 32-year playoff victory drought, advance to the NFC Championship Game that postseason, win a franchise-record 15 games in 2024 and reach the playoffs again last season.<\/p>\n

But you know what’s missing?<\/p>\n

A Super Bowl<\/a> berth.<\/p>\n

A Super Bowl win<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Dan Campbell’s team has been outstanding with its drafting, with the developing of that young talent and in winning.<\/p>\n

But that drafted and developed talent is playing at a much steeper price now. We’re talking over $800 million in total contract commitments for those picks now with the Gibbs deal.<\/p>\n

The Lions should be expected to get the Super Bowl championship they are most definitely paying for.<\/p>\n
