Jahmyr Gibbs is rewriting the script for elite NFL running backs—already three-time Pro Bowler, averaging over 1,200 rushing yards per season, and still on his rookie deal set to expire in 2027. Former Lions linebacker Jason Cabinda argues the Lions must lock him down now, calling him a “generational” talent whose speed and versatility can’t be coached. With Gibbs carrying a heavy load last year and showing elite poise, the Lions face a delicate financial balancing act: reward a superstar while managing cap space. His current contract is worth $17.8M, with a potential $14.29M cap hit if the fifth-year option is picked up. Meanwhile, the Lions have already extended Jack Campbell, but other 2023 draft picks like Sam LaPorta and Brian Branch remain unsigned and could hit free agency after 2026 without extensions.
