First, Bijan Robinson signed an extension. Then, it was Jonathan Taylor. Now, it’s Jahmyr Gibbs — and the Detroit Lions star is making history with his deal. Gibbs has agreed to a three-year, $75.75 million extension with $51.5 million guaranteed with the Lions, NFL Network reported on Thursday. With a $25.25 million average annual value, Gibbs is now the highest-paid running back in NFL history. This deal comes mere hours after the Colts reportedly signed Taylor to a two-year, $44 million extension and two days after the Falcons signed Robinson to a three-year, $66.75 million extension ($22.5 million AAV), which made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history at the time. Gibbs, a Pro Bowler in each of his three seasons in the NFL (2023-25), has rushed for 1,317.5 yards and 14.5 touchdowns per year on 5.3 yards per carry over the last two seasons (2024-25). Over that span, he has also averaged 64.5 receptions for 566.5 yards and 4.5 touchdowns per season. Last season, Gibbs was third among running backs with 62 forced missed tackles, according to Pro Football Focus. Meanwhile, the Lions star back led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024. The Lions selected Gibbs with the No. 12 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Alabama. Earlier this offseason, they also extended linebacker and 2025 All-Pro Jack Campbell, who was in the same draft class as Gibbs (No. 18 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Iowa), on a four-year, $81 million deal. Detroit is coming off a 9-8 season that saw it miss the playoffs for the first time since 2022.
