What happened: The Falcons have agreed to a four-year, $141.05M extension with Drake London, a number that slots him among the league's highest-paid receivers. Bijan Robinson's extension is reportedly next on Atlanta's list. For now, the centerpiece of the run game is still waiting while the receiver gets paid.

Why it matters: London has been productive but has not yet posted a 1,500-yard season, which makes $35M a year a bet on the ceiling rather than the resume. Robinson has carried a heavy workload as the focal point of the offense. Paying the back who drives the unit ahead of the receiver would have been the more defensible order of operations.
