sportingnews.com

Detroit Lions signed running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a three-year, $67.5 million contract extension, a move analysts view favorably. ESPN's Seth Walder praised the deal, calling Gibbs a legitimately elite running back and particularly dangerous as a receiver. At 24, he has ample career ahead, and the salary is top-of-market today though lower than past running back contracts. Walder ranked the extension fifth on his list, calling it a win-win: Detroit secured a key weapon for quarterback Jared Goff at a relative value, while Gibbs receives significant compensation.
