    Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs not participating in practice as they seek market-changing new contracts
    The NFL's most tenuous record might be held by Saquon Barkley. Barkley is currently the highest paid running back in NFL history, in terms of annual value on his contract. Barkley makes $20.6 million per season. That will change. The only question is how quickly he'll be surpassed. The two top running backs in the NFL or at least the top two picks in just about every fantasy draft this year are sitting out of training camp practices awaiting new deals. Jahmyr Gibbs was not present at the start of Lions practice on Wednesday according to the Detroit News. Bijan Robinson wasn't participating in Falcons practice according to The Athletic.Both stars are looking for new deals. If they're both starting hold-ins, their teams better prepare to get their checkbooks out. It's going to get expensive.

(Photo by Kevin Sabitus/Getty Images)Kevin Sabitus via Getty ImagesThe value of Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr GibbsIn the 2023 NFL Draft, Robinson was picked eighth and Gibbs went 12th. Both have turned into fantastic players. And, after three seasons, they're ready for the all-important second contract. Robinson led the NFL with 2,298 yards from scrimmage last season, which was a Falcons record. Gibbs had 1,839 total yards and 18 touchdowns, a year after putting up 1,929 yards and a league-best 20 touchdowns. They're both ideal modern backs, who can hit big plays in the running game and also are high-level contributors as receivers. Both teams are going to rely on their star backs heavily. The Falcons and Lions are both top heavy on offense and most of it will funnel through the running back. The Lions just traded David Montgomery, who was a key piece of the running game, and that puts more work on Gibbs' plate. Robinson and Gibbs both understand they're about to get a workload that will put them near or at the top of the NFL. That's dangerous for running backs. Both of them have leverage, as the fulcrum of their team's offense, and both want to get the top-of-the-market deals they've earned. Both backs will reset the marketBarkley is the highest paid running back at a little more than $20 million per season, Christian McCaffrey is paid $19 million per season and no other running back is above $16 million per season. Robinson and Gibbs will likely completely reset the market at the position. Asking for $25 million per season when good but not great receivers are far exceeding that isn't outlandish. Detroit has some huge deals on its books but is in a surprisingly good cap situation. Atlanta has the second-most projected cap space for the 2027 season, according to Spotrac, mostly because it's not paying much to its quarterbacks. Both teams can afford to pay their star backs. It's just finding a figure for both that makes sense for each side. It also makes sense for both teams to get a deal done sooner rather than later, because players who miss time during camp due to contract disputes seem to be more susceptible to injuries once the season starts. The first to sign will likely blow away Barkley's record deal. The next one to sign might break that record by a bit. Both backs have earned the deals through their play. Now they want to get paid.

    WRU outlines timeline for plan to cut team in west
    Wales has had four regions since 2004 [Huw Evans Picture Agency]The Welsh Rugby Union has outlined how it plans to cut from four professional teams to three by 2028, with Ospreys and Scarlets set to fight to be the side in south west Wales.The governing body confirmed in April it intended to press on with plans to go down to three men's teams from the 2028-29 season, with one in the capital, one in the east and one in the west.Cardiff, owned by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), and Dragons, an independently-backed business, are set to be given licences.That would leave Swansea-based Ospreys and Llanelli-based Scarlets to compete for the remaining spot, with a merger also a practical, if controversial, possibility.The WRU has stated that the process to decide the framework for the final decision will begin in December and finish before the end of the 2026-27 season."The WRU board has examined in detail a range of factors when determining the three future licence areas and has confirmed that only incumbent teams will be considered eligible for a licence," a WRU statement said."This means contingent on the agreement of the final licensing terms, Dragons RFC and Cardiff Rugby would be offered the respective east and capital licences."Scarlets sign Wales fly-half Anscombe from BayonneHigh Court leaves rugby brain injury case in balanceHalfpenny commits coaching future to CardiffThe WRU says it will bring together the leadership of all the professional teams, and other stakeholders, after Wales' Nations Championship matches in November.It intends to thrash out the finances of the regions' proposals and assess the interests of the quartet in taking up the new licences."This will allow an orderly implementation and avoid prolonged uncertainty for clubs, players, supporters, investors and sponsors," said Marianne Okland, chair of Welsh rugby's Professional Rugby Board, whose members met on Monday."Assuming that Cardiff Rugby and Dragons RFC want to sign up to the proposed licensing terms, there is now certainty that they will be offered the capital and east licences respectively."We understand that there will be ongoing uncertainty until a final decision on the west licence is made."That is why we are committed to progressing in a collaborative way, whilst not underestimating the considerable challenges ahead, and providing stability for all at the earliest opportunity."In April, the governing body confirmed that the cut to three teams would not happen until 2028 after a deal with Ospreys owners Y11 Sport & Media to buy Cardiff fell through.Scarlets and Ospreys joined their eastern rivals in signing a Professional Rugby Agreement (PRA) this summer and are now poised to battle for survival.That is unless they can be convinced or agree to merge, which was close to happening in 2019."We have already begun to put the support structures in place to develop the related player pathways, to create the best environments for our senior players, to provide the right financial support and to develop the facilities around them," said WRU vice chair John Manders."We are making important progress which will safeguard the future of our game, concentrate resources and give our teams the best chance of achieving success at all levels."

    Scotland striker Shankland named Rangers captain
    Lawrence Shankland succeeds James Tavernier as Rangers captain [SNS]Lawrence Shankland says being named Rangers captain has exceeded the dream he had of playing for his boyhood team.The 30-year-old striker only joined the club two months ago from Hearts, where he also wore the armband and scored 88 goals in 171 games.The Scotland forward succeeds previous long-serving captain James Tavernier, who led the Ibrox side to a Europa League final and won the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and League Cup during his 11 years in Govan.The news comes two days before Derek McInnes' side start their league campaign at Dundee United on Friday (20:00 BST)."As a lifelong supporter, it was a dream to be here in the first place, but to get the opportunity to captain the club is a huge honour," Shankland said."I believe since I've come here the only way I've learned how to behave around the place is to act like a captain and be a leader within the group."I always look to myself to set examples on the training pitch and do things properly around the place."It's not just myself - Dan Neil and Ben Godfrey are experienced players who have been around clubs and have been captains. It's about all of us setting examples."Is McInnes era giving Rangers fans fewer fears of failure?How many midfielders do Rangers need after busy summer?Rangers set to make profit on Antman - gossipShankland prepared to shoulder scrutinyLawrence Shankland had a combined 117 goal contributions in 171 games for Hearts [SNS]Former captain Tavernier was often the fall guy among the support for Rangers' failings, despite arguably being the club's best player over the past decade.Criticism often felt unfair, but Shankland acknowledges that scrutiny comes with wearing the armband of such a demanding club.Supporters of the Ibrox side have long called for the signing of the striker for his goalscoring ability, but his experience in Scottish football and status as a boyhood fan will also tick boxes in their eyes.Rangers now have a manager in the dugout and a captain on the pitch who the fans feel 'get it', and Shankland insists he is prepared to shoulder the scrutiny if it means he has the chance to become a successful captain at Ibrox."At times when things are difficult, people do look to the captain to answer for the squad," Shankland said. "That's something I'll need to be responsible for."But on the flip side of that, the rewards of being successful at this football club, and being a successful captain, far outweigh [the potential scrutiny] by miles."Ibrox boss McInnes added: "The advantage Lawrence had is that I've got evidence of how well he runs a dressing room from Hearts. "He's got the experience. We're still quite a young dressing room. He knows the club, supported the club, and knows what's expected of him and me and the team."Rangers close in on Makhanya with Antman set to departMcInnes hopes the appeal lodged against his four-game ban for comments made about a controversial penalty awarded to Celtic last season will allow him to be on the touchline on Friday night.The Rangers manager wants his players to embrace a challenging opening fixture and also hopes to have two new additions by the time his side travel to Tannadice.One of those is expected to be South Africa centre-back Olwethu Makhanya, who is closing in on a move from Philadelphia Union, while the other is "quite an important one for us position-wise", McInnes revealed.The Ibrox boss has been seeking defensive reinforcements, but John Souttar could be on his way out of the club.McInnes said the Scotland centre-back "might have one or two options" and could leave to get regular game time.A deal has been agreed for winger Oliver Antman to leave after a year at Rangers, but the club have received no contact regarding Nicolas Raskin, who will return on Thursday after an impressive World Cup with Belgium.Meanwhile, midfield duo Thelo Aasgaard and Cammy Devlin are expected to be fit for Friday's match after taking knocks in the friendly draw with West Ham United.Visit our Rangers page for all the latest news, analysis and fan viewsGet Rangers news notifications in the BBC Sport app
