Bijan Robinson poised for record contract extension with Falcons
Summary

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is expected to receive a major contract extension soon. ESPN has reported that the deal could make him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, surpassing the current annual salary of $20.6 million held by Saquon Barkley. This potential extension follows wide receiver Drake London's recent four-year, $141 million deal. Estimates suggest Robinson could secure a four-year contract worth around $82 million. The details of the contract, including the guaranteed money, will be critical as the running back position is known for its injury risks.
