The Detroit Lions just made Jahmyr Gibbs the highest-paid running back in the NFL with a three-year, $67.5 million extension averaging $22.5M annually — and he’s locked in through 2030. After holding out and watching from the sidelines, Gibbs is back on the field, ready to carry the load as David Montgomery departs. Already a Pro Bowler and league leader in scrimmage TDs, the 24-year-old is entering his prime and will be the focal point of the new offense under the new OC. By waiting until Robinson and Taylor signed, Gibbs snagged the top spot — a bold move that signals the Lions see him as their cornerstone. This deal isn’t just about money — it’s about chemistry, explosiveness, and long-term dominance.
