Falcons negotiate contract extension with Bijan Robinson soon

The Atlanta Falcons are in ongoing contract negotiations with running back Bijan Robinson. ESPN's Marc Raimondi reports that Robinson is next on the team's priority list following recent contract extensions for Drake London and Kyle Pitts. London signed a four-year deal worth $141 million, while Pitts secured a three-year, $54 million contract. Robinson's extension is expected to surpass Saquon Barkley's average of $20.6 million per season, potentially making him the highest-paid running back in the NFL. The Falcons are also considering long-term deals for other young players including Matthew Bergeron and Jessie Bates III.
