Jahmyr Gibbs just shattered the NFL’s running back pay ceiling with a record-setting three-year, $67.5 million deal, vaulting ahead of Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor. Yet, as he racks up 18 TDs and over 1,800 yards, critics point out he’s still underpaid compared to elite wideouts — a gap that’s only widened since 2011, when RBs earned 90% of WRs’ salaries, now down to just 51%. Gibbs insists it’s about value, not position, while contract experts note the salary cap’s growth has left RBs behind. Can rebranding them as “offensive weapons” close the gap? For now, Gibbs and his peers are proving their worth on the field — hoping performance eventually wins the market.
