FLOWERY BRANCH, GA - Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson's hold in at training camp had reached five days. It didn't reach day six.News broke Tuesday morning that Robinson and the Falcons had agreed to an extension that made him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. The three-year extension pays Robinson an average of $25 million per year.Full details of the extension have yet to be reported on whether it replaces Robinson's fifth-year option in 2027 or begins after 2028. Either way, with $50 million guaranteed, Robinson is financially secure.Also feeling more secure is new head coach Kevin Stefanski. Key members of the Falcons offense, including Drake London, Kyle Pitts Sr., and Matthew Bergeron, had all gotten extensions this summer. Robinson was still on the docket, but Stefanski and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees had gone through the first five days of practice with Robinson watching from the sidelines.With his star back taken care of, Stefanski gets the engine of the Falcons' offense back on the field for the foreseeable future."Very excited for him, excited for us. Knew throughout this whole process that it would be a process, and felt good about where we were," Stefanski said on Tuesday afternoon at training camp.
