The contract, which was confirmed by multiple sources, is set to be finalized and could be announced soon. It marks a significant milestone for Gibbs, who has shown strong performance during his time with the Lions. The deal also appears to be within the NFL's salary cap constraints, as noted by Bleacher Report.
The agreement was first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, who shared the details with both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Gibbs' agent. The contract is expected to be one of the most lucrative for a running back in the league.
