Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract extension on August 6, 2026, ending a training-camp holdout. Gibbs had reported to the team's facility for camp but sat out the first six practices while seeking a new deal, returning to practice in a limited capacity the same day the extension was finalized.
The contract included $51.5 million in guaranteed money and could reach $75.75 million with incentives, making Gibbs, then 24, the NFL's highest-paid running back by average annual value at $22.5 million, surpassing the three-year, $66.75 million deal the Atlanta Falcons had given Bijan Robinson days earlier. The deal came amid a broader reshaping of the running back market following several top backs' extensions in 2026.
The community's forecast (69% "yes") matched the actual outcome; Detroit extended Gibbs before the deadline.
