Lions' Gibbs Holding Out, Campbell Confirms

Lions head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged that running back Jahmyr Gibbs is staging a contract holdout, telling ESPN's Eric Woodyard, "This is both sides working through something and we'll take it as it comes." Gibbs, a first-round pick in 2023 and multiple Pro Bowler, joins Falcons running back Bijan Robinson in similar contract negotiations.

The situation creates an interesting dynamic where whoever agrees to a new deal first between Gibbs and Robinson will likely make less money than the other. Both teams are navigating contract extensions for their star running backs as the situation continues to develop. xsportfeed.quest
