Falcons Extend Bijan Robinson for 3 Years, $75 Million After 2,000-Yard Season

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 23

Summary

  • $75 million over three years will keep Bijan Robinson in Atlanta after the running back delivered more than 2,000 scrimmage yards in 2025.
  • Robinson became the Falcons' offensive centerpiece during an 8-9 season, carrying a unit that was repeatedly disrupted by quarterback instability and Michael Penix Jr.'s late injury.
  • Atlanta has since reshaped the offense around him, hiring Kevin Stefanski, cutting Kirk Cousins and handing Penix his first full season as the projected starter.
  • The extension reinforces the Falcons' run-first direction as they try to turn a roster overhaul and a 7.5-win outlook into a playoff push in 2026.
