Jahmyr Gibbs Signs Historic RB Deal | Detroit News

Jahmyr Gibbs just shattered NFL history with a record-breaking $67.5M, 3-year contract—potentially worth $75.75M with incentives—making him the highest-paid running back ever. After a grueling negotiation process that sidelined him from practice, Gibbs is finally free to focus on football again. His stellar three-season run includes 49 touchdowns (breaking Barry Sanders’ record for his era), 1,800+ scrimmage yards last year, and elite versatility as both runner and receiver. Despite early skepticism about being drafted 12th overall, Gibbs stayed confident in his game, earning praise from Lions coach Scottie Montgomery and respect from top backs across the league—all while staying loyal to Detroit, the city he loves.
