Star running backs Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are currently not participating in team activities as they seek new contracts with their respective teams.
The running backs, Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, appear to be hold-ins, according to ESPN. This means they are not attending training camp practices while negotiations for contract extensions continue.
The reason behind their absence is a desire for new contracts. While the specifics of their demands haven't been publicly disclosed, it’s clear both players believe they deserve compensation reflecting their value to their teams. The situation highlights a growing trend among running backs seeking improved financial security given the position's relatively short career lifespan and increasing injury risk.
The hold-ins come at a time when the NFL is seeing increased scrutiny regarding player contracts, particularly for running backs. Several other prominent players at the position have also expressed dissatisfaction with current compensation structures.
