Star running backs Jahmyr Gibbs (Lions) and Bijan Robinson (Falcons), both eligible for new contracts, are reportedly in a three-way standoff with Jonathan Taylor (Colts) as they negotiate significant deals. Their wait for one another to sign first creates a “game of chicken,” impacting their potential salaries. Currently, the top running back contracts are held by Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Gibbs and Robinson are both coming off impressive seasons and have had their fifth-year options exercised, further complicating the negotiations.
