The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.



NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.

We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.

So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Washington Commanders running back, Antonio Gibson.

Antonio Gibson 2024 Contract Projection

Antonio Gibson broke onto the NFL scene in a big way his first two seasons, but lack of ball security seemed to nudge Ron Rivera towards drafting Brian Robinson in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. When Robinson missed the first four games of 2022, Gibson was the uncontested starter in the backfield, but averaged a measly 3.26 yards per attempt and never reached at least 60 yards in any of those games.

Gibson does some of his best work as a threat out of the backfield, and teams love that skillset in a change-of-pace back. However, veterans like Jeff Wilson Jr. and Raheem Mostert have signed for deals of $3 million or less per year after showing more promise as every-down backs, so expect Gibson to land a smaller, one-year deal as he tries to rebuild his value with a new team.

• Franchise Tag Likelihood: None
• Projected Contract: 1 Year, $2.5 APY, 500k GTD
• Year One Cap Hit: $2.5M
