McCaffrey’s Tightness Is Real, Not a Worry, as 49ers Release Khalil Herbert

Rapoport says McCaffrey’s tightness is real but not a concern, and any hold-in chatter is coincidence; the 49ers released veteran Khalil Herbert after preseason, signaling confidence in their star back. McCaffrey is set for a $12.5 million non-guaranteed salary this season under a 2024 extension through 2027, after a standout 2022-2025 run that includes 1,202 rushing yards and 10 TDs last season, though durability has been a recurring theme, including a 2024 Achilles issue that limited him to four games.

Is Christian McCaffrey Holding In for a Richer 49ers Contract?

Speculation from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio (and Chris Simms) suggests Christian McCaffrey may be holding in to pressure a new guaranteed contract, arguing his $12.5 million base with no guarantees lags behind the RB market after Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. His week-long absence with “muscle tightness” adds to the timing, while the 49ers weigh guaranteeing future years given his heavy workload (400+ touches in recent seasons). The piece casts this as potential leverage for a sweeter deal rather than a simple injury, leaving how San Francisco responds uncertain.

Gibbs Hold-In Keeps Lions Negotiations Quiet, Fans Not Panicking

Jahmyr Gibbs is in a hold-in during Lions training camp as contract talks continue; Detroit has publicly shown interest in an extension and is in dialogue, but there’s no sign of progress yet. A Pride of Detroit writer rates current concern as low (2/10), noting the situation is early and the team has typically resolved extensions quickly. If Gibbs remains sidelined through the preseason, concern would rise, but for now a quick deal before Week 1 is expected.

Gibbs’ hold-in fuels contract chatter as Lions call back issue minor

Jahmyr Gibbs missed his fifth straight Detroit Lions training-camp practice and offered little on when he'll return, saying the hold-in isn’t about a new contract. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Gibbs reported a minor back injury at conditioning, and Gibbs has been around the facility for weight room work and film sessions while the team weighs long-term deals for Gibbs and other 2023 picks; Gibbs is on a rookie deal worth about $3.183 million this season with two years left.

Lions stay unfazed as Gibbs hold-in stirs contract talks

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell says Jahmyr Gibbs' hold-in for a new contract isn’t a concern, noting the deal will get done even though Gibbs is under contract through 2026 with a 2027 option. No timeline was given for Gibbs’ return, and the absence has allowed other backs on the roster to receive more reps, including Isiah Pacheco and Sione Vaki, while the team awaits negotiations.

Contract talks keep Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs off the practice field

Bijan Robinson of the Falcons and Jahmyr Gibbs of the Lions did not practice amid ongoing contract talks, signaling a hold-in as both seek long-term extensions. Robinson’s elite 2025 season (nearly 1,500 rushing yards and 820 receiving yards) could push him past Saquon Barkley’s reported $20 million-per-year range, while Gibbs is also projected to reset RB pay scales. Both players remain under two-year deals with fifth-year options, with teams expected to lock in extensions this offseason.
