Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn't shut down the idea that Bijan Robinson's historic extension with the Atlanta Falcons could speed up contract negotiations with Jahmyr Gibbs.
Gibbs is currently holding in from training camp amid his bid for a long-term deal with the Lions.
But we'll see," Campbell said Tuesday when asked if Robinson's deal could speed up Gibbs' negotiations (h/t ESPN's Eric Woodyard).
The deal also included $51 million in guaranteed money, $37 million of which Robinson received at signing, per Schefter.
Robinson's $22.25 million base annual salary will now serve as a benchmark for Gibbs, who could be seeking a base number closer to Robinson's max of $25 million annually.
