STACKED’s take
Gibbs' contract hold-in enters week 2; Lions optimistic but slow progress raises questions.
Gibbs is holding in for a new contract with the Detroit Lions, entering Week 2 of his sit-out during training camp. Lions coach Dan Campbell said he "wasn't sweating" the hold-in but admitted surprise the contract hasn't been finalized, stating "I thought we'd be done by now." GM Brad Holmes told SiriusXM they're "having dialogue" but his body language did not scream optimistic, responding with "that's the hope" when reassured a deal would get done. The source assesses concern at 2/10, noting the Lions have historically extended players quickly when publicly expressing interest, and expects the Bijan Robinson deal to accelerate Gibbs' negotiations. However, if Gibbs remains sidelined beyond the first preseason game, concern would rise to 4-6/10; if still out near preseason's end, it would jump to 8-10/10.
