Lions sign Isaiah Pacheco

[TouchdownMyPants]

It’s really the Gibbs show now, people wanting Monty level RB are basically advocating for a 60/40 split… Gibbs was on the field for 67% of offensive snaps last season, I expect that number to be over 80% in 2026… And that’s a good thing

Pacheco runs more like a knuckles would

He runs angry. We should call him Moose Knuckles.

I don’t think Dan will have that type of split

[JimInTN]

Brad tricking everyone into thinking he won’t draft J Love.

[GreggyJ]

I mean…if he stays healthy? Great.

But very hard not to think of this as not another Brad Holmes injury signing.

[CuriousHusker]

Any terms?

I’m curious about his Pay-checko.

I would really be surprised if they increase Gibbs workload that much to 80%

It’s what all the top backs get… Barkley, Bijan, Taylor, McCaffrey

[MyLions]

I love this signing. Experienced, hard-nosed and has rings. 215 pounds, just turned 27. I don’t know the $ or terms but this feels like a very good Dmont replacement.

[HSVLion]

Gibbs is also about to get paid the biggest RB contract in NFL history, unless Bijan gets paid right afterwards. I’m not sure what some people expected us to do with RB2.

And that’s never what Kamara got which Dan has specifically mentioned in regards to running back splits

[BrokenGlass284]

This is a good move to add some veteran depth. Pacheco isn’t as good as Monty, but I’m pretty sure the lions will take a back in the draft who will split the non-Gibbs carries with him.

Hasn’t he only had the single broken leg back in 2024? I guess there’s an MCL strain last year as well, but he doesn’t seem as riddled with injuries as most RBs. And none of them should affect him long-term.

[BarrySanders20]

Runs very hard but prone to INJURY!!! Besides, I’m not sure he’s healthy. He is not an upgrade over D-Moe

[Davicus]

@HSVLion

I’m not sure what some people expected us to do with RB2.

Why couldn’t we just get Saquon or Bijon as our number 2?

We were never trying to get an upgrade to Monty.

Well in all fairness Gibbs is 202lbs
Barkley 233
Bijan 220
Taylor 226

I just believe Dan is going to limit the pounding and Pancheco is going to get about the same amount of carries (150ish) as Monty got

Kamara isn’t Gibbs and he’s always hurt
