BREAKING: Lions Sign RB Jahmyr Gibbs To Three-Year, $67.5M Extension

According to Adam Schefter, the Lions and RB Jahmyr Gibbs have shaken hands on a new three-year extension worth $67.5 million. 

The deal is worth a maximum of $75.75 million and $51.5 million guaranteed, ever so slightly nudging him to the top of a running back market that’s been active the past few days. 

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson signed a three-year, $66.75 million extension while Colts RB Jonathan Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million deal this morning, clearly setting the market for a Gibbs deal to get done.

Gibbs, 24, transferred to Alabama after two seasons at Georgia Tech and was a starter in his final two college seasons. He earned second-team All-American and second-team All-SEC in 2022. 

The Lions selected Gibbs with the No. 12 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He was entering the final year of a four-year, $19,168,040 contract that included a $10,940,393 signing bonus when the Lions exercised his fifth-year option worth $14.293 million fully guaranteed for the 2027 season.

In 2025, Gibbs appeared in all 17 games for the Lions and rushed 243 times for 1,223 yards (5.0 YPC) and 13 touchdowns, adding 77 catches on 94 targets for 616 yards and five touchdowns. 

We’ll have more on Gibbs as the news becomes available.
