Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson signed a three-year contract extension valued at up to $75 million, which includes $51 million in guarantees. The deal provides an average annual value of $22.25 million, setting a new high for the position in the NFL. Following the extension, the Falcons' running back unit was ranked as the top group in the league for 2026. Robinson is highlighted for his efficiency and ability to force missed tackles, while the team's depth is bolstered by Brian Robinson and preseason performances from Tyler Goodson. Recent reports clarify the extension details, noting a three-year, $66.75 million structure with $51.57 million in total guarantees, of which $37.57 million is guaranteed at the time of signing. The contract includes performance escalators tied to receiving yards, playoff appearances, and league MVP awards. To enhance his on-field maneuverability, Robinson has reportedly studied the footwork and body control of athletes from other sports, specifically citing NBA player Kyrie Irving and soccer player Michael Olise.
