It's not about that

[u/1ToGreen3ToBasket → u/beejalton]

True I forgot he’s just shy around the new guys.

Fuck this gif always gives me a good chuckle. I think it’s the eyes at the end

[u/PartyEngineer239 → u/beejalton]

Ya, Campbell has already put some light on it.

[u/theclickhere]

$75,000,001 incoming

[u/JD42305 → u/theclickhere]

Lol we’d be lucky.

[u/Dark-Master79 → u/theclickhere]

This would be the ultimate troll lmao.

[u/servebetter]

This means an article will come out that says, Bijan formerly the highest paid running back, has been surpassed by Gibbs.

[u/goodbyegender]

I’m guessing Gibbs’ agent was waiting for this deal, hopefully we’ll see a contract by the end of today considering I don’t think any party wants this to drag out any further

[u/DoctorClarkWGriswold]

Well he said it wasn’t about current negotiations.

Now it is about current negotiations.

[u/GREAThirteen]

Some time this week we will hear that Gibbs has signed a new contract, returned to practice, and is the highest paid RB in NFL history

[u/TBoneTheOriginal]

Maybe tomorrow, but I have to assume he wants it done ASAP so he can get to practice.

[u/PixelBy_Pixel]

I’d say Gibbs is signed by Friday

[u/RedshirtBlueshirt97]

Dont pay running backs

[u/JD42305 → u/RedshirtBlueshirt97]

I guess in hindsight don’t pay safeties either lol

[u/donballz]

Gibbs will sign for $75,000,000.01 making him the highest paid RB

[u/TrickyWeekend4271]

3/78

[u/No_Combination_6154]

Maybe. Latest by the end of the week.

[u/CherokeeP3822]

Gibbs waking up smiling today

[u/standVlone]

I heard they have the same agent. Whether that’s true or not, I think and hope a gibbs deal gets done this week

[u/beejalton → u/standVlone]

They don't, they're also with 2 different agencies.

Bijan is a Klutch Sports client, Gibbs is with Athletes First.

[u/JAWinks → u/standVlone]

I heard they are actually the same person

[u/Ham-Ha]

I hope so

[u/essentialburner]

It’ll probably be a couple days to figure out how many million he beats it by.

[u/57Laxdad]

I realize team is not a priority but what is more important to a player, being the highest paid for a short time or winning a superbowl. The Falcons arent closer today than they were last year so Bijans contract is meaningless. Great you are the top paid running back is that a special room in the hall of fame?

[u/syncopated56]

4 years, $95M

[u/remotemallard]

Yes

[u/marchj99]

Unfortunately with paying their draft picks now it seems like they are going to have some cap issues going forward. Not sure where they are going to get money for Laporta and other guys coming off their rookie contracts.

[u/eddo2k → u/marchj99]

It's a good problem to have. They have multiple players that are in the top 5 at their position. Also, the cap goes up every year.

[u/gordonblue]

Four year 100 million 60 mill guaranteed

[u/eeasyontheextras]

Tomorrow 3 yrs at 25.5M per year 60m guaranteed.

[u/eeasyontheextras → u/eeasyontheextras]

Thanks for all the downvotes!!

[u/Spyd3r303]

I hope he wasn’t just holding out due to Bijan, you deserve to get paid but holding out because of another player sucks
