Is Jahmyr Gibbs Now the Most VALUABLE Running Back in the NFL?

Detroit Lions face contract drama as rumors swirl about Jahmyr Gibbs possibly holding out for a new deal, just as his value skyrockets after back-to-back standout seasons. Does Detroit risk losing its rising star, or will Brad Holmes pay up to keep the NFL’s top young running back? Matt Dery breaks down contract dynamics, rival running back salaries like Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey, and how Gibbs’ role as bell cow shapes the Lions’ Super Bowl aspirations. Elsewhere, Jared Goff gets snubbed in Pro Football Focus’ quarterback rankings, fueling debate: is Goff truly outside the NFL’s top 15? Dery scrutinizes the latest QB lists, highlights Detroit’s league-leading nine top-10 positional rankings per ESPN, and examines what’s needed for a deep playoff run, from staying healthy in the secondary to maintaining favorable scheduling. Plus, former Lion Pat O’Connor’s underdog NFL legacy and a preview of Monday’s conversation with ex-quarterback Scott Mitchell. #firstlisten Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
