STACKED’s take
Highest-paid RB ever at $22.5M/year is still great value vs. WR market.
Signed a three-year, $67.5 million extension with the Lions (up to $75.75 million with $51.5 million guaranteed), making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history at $22.5 million per season. Despite this record contract, Gibbs remains a great value compared to top receivers; he averaged 1,884 yards from scrimmage and 19 touchdowns over the past two seasons and is one of the best big-play threats in the NFL. Even as the highest-paid RB ever, Gibbs would rank only 25th among receivers in average annual value, behind Calvin Ridley, Christian Watson, and Courtland Sutton, making the Lions' investment a smart one given his elite talent and ability to carry an offense.
