Antonio Gibson Signs Three-Year Deal With The Patriots

9 months ago

Free agent running back Antonio Gibson and the New England Patriots have agreed to a three-year, $11.25 million contract on Monday. The deal includes $5.3 million guaranteed, with a maximum value of $17.25 million. Gibson rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown while catching 48 of 59 targets for 389 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games for the Commanders in 2023. With Ezekiel Elliott set to become a free agent, Gibson will join Rhamondre Stevenson and is set to be an integral part of New England's backfield. The 25-year-old will handle passing situations and third-down duties while spelling Stevenson on early-downs. With the move to New England, Gibson's fantasy value improves slightly, but he is a better fantasy option in PPR formats, making him a borderline RB4 heading into fantasy drafts in 2024.
