Money Well Spent: Amon-Ra St. Brown Is On The Hook To Buy Jahmyr Gibbs A New House If Gibbs Gets 1,000 Rushing And Receiving Yards This Year

Love this move by Amon-Ra St. Brown. Dude signed a 4-year $120 million contract this offseason with $77 million being guaranteed. Breaking news here, but that's a shit ton of money. I wouldn't even know what to do with $7 million let alone $77 million coming into my account. But Amon-Ra? Simple. He puts up a house for Jahmyr Gibbs. That's how you build team chemistry, that's how you deal with expectations when you're the Lions.

It's not an insane reach either. I know only 3 people have done it before, but Gibbs should get more touches this year. He's better than David Montgomery and it feels like Campbell will actually trust him more this year. Last year he had 945 rushing yards and 316 receiving yards. Obviously a big jump, but it's basically 60 yards of each every single week. Avoid injury, get a house. 

I do appreciate that this is what Gibbs thought of too. St. Brown saying he'll buy you anything and you just say a house. Hopefully he's smart and gets St. Brown to buy the most expensive house in the area. Who cares if you were a 1st round pick? You're getting a free house out of a deal for doing your job. Not to mention we know running backs don't get paid, so might as well cash in now. I do think a house is the only correct answer here too. A car is whatever, I don't care about cars. Gibbs can afford a nice car. A vacation? Nope. Dan Campbell would shut down that idea. You're talking about being the 4th person in history to achieve a stat, you gotta go with a house. 

All I know is I hope this comes down to week 17 where Gibbs needs like 50 yards of each to get the 1,000. I want to see St. Brown on the sidelines or running routes concerned about losing a couple million. Oh and you know Jared Goff is going to make sure Gibbs gets it if we're close and the Lions are already in the playoffs.
