Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons have agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $75 million, making Robinson the highest-paid running back in NFL history, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $51 million in guaranteed money, according to Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports.
The extension shifts immediate attention to other running backs set for contract negotiations. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell noted that Robinson's deal "certainly won't hurt" the team's upcoming talks with running back Jahmyr Gibbs, per Pro Football Talk. The Lions believe Robinson's new contract could speed up negotiations with their own star back, Yahoo Sports reported.
