Bijan Robinson's Contract Extension Influences Jahmyr Gibbs Negotiations

Bijan Robinson has finalized a three-year, $66.75 million contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons, prompting increased focus on Jahmyr Gibbs' contract negotiations with the Detroit Lions.

Both running backs, who were first-round draft picks in 2023, have been observing training camp together while seeking new deals. Lions head coach Dan Campbell commented on the situation, indicating that Robinson's extension could be beneficial for Gibbs' talks.

Gibbs has been non-committal regarding the status of his negotiations and the possibility of practicing without a contract. With Robinson's new deal setting a precedent for running backs, it is anticipated that Gibbs' situation will progress soon.
