Detroit Lions use rolling guarantees in Jahmyr Gibbs' record-breaking extension

sports.yahoo.com

Jahmyr Gibbs' record-breaking three-year extension with the Detroit Lions includes rolling guarantees and a single option bonus, making an early exit costly but providing 2027 cap relief. The 2026 cap hit rose $3 million, but 2027 drops about $8 million below the fifth-year option. Rolling guarantees lock in portions of 2028-29 salaries, and cutting Gibbs in 2029 would still leave over $20 million in dead cap. The contract also includes incentives for reaching 800 receiving yards and playoff success, paid in 2029-30. Detroit used one option bonus and one void year, differing from recent extensions.
