Breaking: Jahmyr Gibbs Agreed to Terms with Orleans, Finally Fulfilled Mom’s Wish

It was a moment years in the making. Jahmyr Gibbs, one of the NFL’s most electrifying young running backs, signed a four-year deal with the New Orleans Saints. But for Gibbs, this wasn’t just about football — it was about family.

His mother, Shonda Gibbs, had spent her childhood in the heart of New Orleans. She often spoke of her dream to see her son play for her hometown team. “Every time we watched Saints games growing up, my mom would say, ‘One day, you’ll wear that jersey,’” Jahmyr recalled during the press conference.

The journey hadn’t been easy. Drafted by the Detroit Lions, Gibbs quickly became a rising star in the league. But when his rookie contract ended, and trade rumors swirled, his mother reminded him of her lifelong dream. “I wanted him to go where his heart led, but deep down, I hoped it would lead him home,” Shonda said.

Negotiations stretched for weeks, but Gibbs finally inked the deal. His announcement on social media went viral: “NOLA, I’m coming home. Mom, this one’s for you.”

Gibbs’ first act after signing was buying his mother a custom Saints jersey with his number and her name stitched on the back. “It’s surreal,” Shonda said, tears streaming down her face as she held the jersey. “I never thought this day would come.”

For Jahmyr, suiting up in black and gold meant more than fulfilling his mother’s wish; it was about embracing his roots and giving back to the city that shaped his family. “Every time I step on the Superdome field, I’ll be thinking of her,” he said. “This is more than football. This

is family.”
