What happened: After the Falcons agreed to terms with star receiver Drake London on a four-year contract extension, NFL insider @RapSheet signaled that running back Bijan Robinson is "likely next" for a new deal. The remark frames London's extension as the first of several moves to lock up Atlanta's young core. No terms for a Robinson extension have been reported.

Why it matters: Extending London and turning to Robinson would commit significant future cap space to Atlanta's offensive skill players under the new front office. Securing both former high picks signals the Falcons intend to build around their drafted core rather than let them reach free agency. The timing, ahead of the 2026 season, suggests Atlanta wants its key contracts settled early.

What to watch: Watch for whether the Falcons open formal extension talks with Robinson and what structure a deal might take. Any reported terms or timeline would confirm the front office's broader plan to retain its young core.
