Athletes First announced the deal Thursday, hours after Gibbs
took the field for the first time since the Lions' training camp
started. His agents also noted the new contract includes $51.5
million guaranteed for the Pro Bowler.
Two days earlier, Atlanta briefly made Bijan Robinson the NFL's
highest-paid running back.
Gibbs had been participating in meetings at camp, but Thursday
was his first appearance on the field, an indication the Lions
and his agents were close to a deal. Gibbs held his right arm
high and gave a thumbs-up when asked if an agreement was close
as he walked off the practice field.
He rushed for 1,223 yards and 13 touchdowns and had 77
receptions for 616 yards and five scores in 2025.
Colts running back Jonathan Taylor got a two-year, $44 million
deal earlier Thursday.
