The Atlanta Falcons and Pro Bowler Bijan Robinson agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $75 million in a move that makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The agreement, which reportedly includes $51 million guaranteed, will end Robinson's hold-in at training camp.

Robinson, who's rushed for over 1,400 yards in each of the past two seasons, led the NFL with 2,298 scrimmage yards in 2025. He's also scored 26 touchdowns since 2024, establishing himself as one of the league's most dangerous and versatile playmakers.

The 24-year-old hasn't missed a game since joining Atlanta as the eighth overall pick in 2023.

It's been a busy offseason for the Falcons, who've signed multiple key starters to long-term deals. In addition to Robinson, Atlanta rewarded receiver Drake London (four years, $141.05 million), tight end Kyle Pitts (three years, $54 million), and guard Matthew Bergeron (four years, $96 million) with lucrative extensions.
