Jahmyr Gibbs has signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract with the Detroit Lions, per ESPN. The Pro Bowl running back expressed relief Friday at having the deal finalized and said he is ready to shift his attention back to football.
Gibbs acknowledged that contract negotiations took an emotional toll. "This process" was "extremely stressful," he said during a Friday press conference at Allen Park, per Pride of Detroit. He can now focus on football through the 2030 season with the deal signed.
Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports both reported that the Gibbs deal mirrors the structure of Bijan Robinson's recent contract with the Houston Texans, though neither outlet provided additional details on what that structure entailed.
