Jahmyr Gibbs Becomes NFL's Highest-Paid Running Back with $67.5 Million Extension

Jahmyr Gibbs has officially become the highest-paid running back in the NFL after signing a three-year extension worth $67.5 million. This deal was announced on Thursday, marking a significant moment in the evolving landscape of running back salaries.

The extension comes shortly after Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons signed a three-year, $66.75 million contract, resulting in a combined total of $102.5 million in guaranteed money for both players. This trend reflects a shift in the market, as several running backs have recently secured lucrative contracts, including Kenneth Walker, De’Von Achane, and Breece Hall.

Additionally, the Arizona Cardinals made headlines by selecting Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, awarding him a fully guaranteed four-year contract worth $53 million. This demonstrates the renewed value placed on running backs in the league.
