Lions, Gibbs Contract Talks Stall

After Bijan Robinson's contract reset the running back market with a $22.25 million average annual salary, Gibbs' negotiations with the Lions have hit an obstacle. The market for running backs continues to lag behind other positions, creating tension between Gibbs' production and the team's valuation. asg-reflektory.pl

Gibbs has been highly productive for the Lions, accumulating 1,929 yards from scrimmage and 20 touchdowns in 2025, followed by 1,839 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. With the Lions moving on from David Montgomery, they'll rely even more on Gibbs, but appear reluctant to significantly exceed the new market set by Robinson.
