The Atlanta Falcons locked up their top wideout Tuesday, agreeing to a four-year extension worth $141 million with $100 million guaranteed, his agent told ESPN. With incentives, the deal can climb to $150 million.
London now sits third among NFL receivers in average annual salary—a quiet milestone for a player who has yet to miss a 1,000-yard season. The contract marks the richest average salary in Falcons franchise history.
Rising production, familiar frame
Heading into his fifth professional year, London has increased his yardage output in each of his first three seasons. He was on pace for another strong campaign in 2025 before hip and knee injuries sidelined him for five games. He remains a consistent 1,000-yard threat who should approach double-digit touchdowns again this season.
That injury timeline quietly reshaped Atlanta's offensive plans midseason—one of those details that changes how a front office reads a calendar rather than a playbook.
The rest of the core waits
With London secured, two other key pieces remain in limbo. Running back Bijan Robinson is due for an extension and could become the highest-paid back in league history when he signs. Tight end Kyle Pitts received the franchise tag earlier this offseason and has until July 15 to land a long-term deal—if not, he plays 2026 on a fully guaranteed $16 million salary.
The quarterback room presents the biggest open question. Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa are slated to compete for the starting job, and whichever emerges will inherit an offense with serious talent at the skill positions.
For now, the Falcons have made their clearest statement yet about what they think their future looks like.
