Jahmyr Gibbs Signs 3-Year Lions Extension Through 2030 After 2 Stressful Weeks

Summary
Detroit brought Jahmyr Gibbs back to practice after finalizing a three-year extension that keeps the 24-year-old running back under contract through the 2030 season.
Two weeks away from the field had left Gibbs "extremely stressful," he said, after missing six training camp practices while the Lions worked to lock up a core player long term.
Gibbs enters 2026 as a central piece of Detroit's offense after posting 1,223 rushing yards, 77 catches and 18 total touchdowns last season.
Forty-nine career touchdowns through three seasons are the most in NFL history over that span, and his role could grow further after Detroit traded David Montgomery this offseason.
The extension adds Gibbs to a widening group of Lions cornerstone players already signed long term as the team pushes for a Super Bowl.
