Bijan Robinson is making waves entering his fourth NFL season after securing a historic $75 million extension with the Atlanta Falcons.
The deal has surpassed Saquon Barkley’s record, becoming the highest-paid running back in the NFL.
The Falcons drafted Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick at the 2023 NFL Draft.
Since his arrival, the 24-year-old Robinson has sent shockwaves across the NFL as the most versatile RB.
The Falcons signed Texas native Robinson on a historic three-year extension contract worth $75 million.
The details highlight that the deal includes $51 million in guaranteed money, the highest ever paid out to any running back.
Robinson’s annual value stands at $25 million, which surpassed Barkley’s $20.6 million per year.
Robinson is expected to join the team practice session coming Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
The two-time Pro Bowler and 2025 All-Pro has signed an extension with the Falcons that will last until 2030.
Ahead of the regular 2026 NFL season, the deal could prove instrumental in helping Atlanta to bounce back from an 8-9 season in 2025.
Robinson, 24, was the leader of the NFL in rushing yards last season, (2,298) and was fourth in rushing yards (1,478).
Robinson posted a 93-yard rushing touchdown against the L.A. Rams, which was the longest in the NFL last season.
