Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs hold-in as RB market questioned

Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are holding out for new contracts as analysts question the low value of running back deals compared to wide receivers.

ProFootballTalk host Mike Florio argues the running back market is "clearly wrong" compared to the receiver position. With top wide receivers earning over $40 million, analysts suggest the gap between RB and WR pay is unjustified given that running backs touch the ball more frequently.

Current market leader Saquon Barkley signed a deal for $20.6 million APY. This sets the baseline for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, who are holding out for new contracts. The argument suggests these players should be paid more to reflect their importance to offense. capturengo.org
