Overview
- Bijan Robinson signed a three-year extension that was reported on Wednesday and makes him the highest-paid running back, with up to $75 million in value and $51 million guaranteed.
- Multiple outlets reported that the agreement includes a roughly $37 million signing payment and keeps Robinson under contract through 2030, ending his training-camp sideline hold-in.
- Robinson has resumed ramping into Falcons practices under a measured plan from coaches after attending but not participating in early camp sessions.
- Jahmyr Gibbs remains in a contract-related hold-in at Lions camp while attending meetings but skipping on-field drills, and the Lions have already exercised his fifth-year option keeping him under contract through 2027.
- Analysts say Robinson’s terms reset the running back market and could shape negotiations for Gibbs and other elite backs by shifting expectations on guarantees, signing cash, salary averages, roster planning, and camp availability.
