Two of the NFL’s top running backs, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, are skipping practice at training camp to push for lucrative long-term deals—both still under rookie contracts but already commanding elite market value. Robinson, who led the league in all-purpose yards last season, is expected to be the highest-paid back when he signs, with projections hovering around $18M annually—and possibly soaring to $25M. Gibbs, meanwhile, could fetch even more at $20.6M, though his role as an every-down back adds uncertainty. With seven running backs now earning $14M+ annually and Saquon Barkley setting the bar at $20M+, Robinson and Gibbs are making a bold statement: they’re betting on themselves and demanding contracts that match their impact. The Falcons and both players are reportedly close to a deal, and the running back market is watching closely to see how this power move reshapes the landscape.
