From the article

Gibbs doesn't want to risk any sort of injury before getting paid. An NFL career is so fragile, and it can turn your fortune around completely in an instant. We saw how quickly the career outlook of Kerby Joseph changed last season, and there's already been a handful of NFL players who have suffered season-ending injuries before the first week of training camp has ended. With running backs' careers being especially short and fragile, I don't fault Gibbs for trying to cash in when he can.
