Jahmyr Gibbs signs three-year, $67.5 million extension with Lions

Detroit Lions signed running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a three-year, $67.5 million contract extension, a move analysts largely view as favorable. ESPN's Seth Walder called Gibbs a legitimately elite running back, especially dangerous as a receiver, and noted the deal is top-of-market today but below past running back pay. Gibbs ranks fifth on Walder's list. The 24-year-old has become a favorite target of quarterback Jared Goff. Analysts say the extension benefits both Gibbs and Detroit, who secured him at what some call a bargain.
