Kevin Stefanski Outlines Plan for Bijan Robinson After Historic Deal
The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension worth up to $75 million with Bijan Robinson.
The Atlanta Falcons recently finalized a three-year contract extension worth up to $75 million with their star running back, Bijan Robinson. This agreement makes Robinson the highest-paid running back in NFL history. Before the contract was finalized, Robinson had not yet joined the team for training camp practice. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed his excitement about Robinson's addition to the team, stating, "He’s eager — beyond eager — to get out there."
As a result, Stefanski plans to gradually reintroduce Robinson to the team's practices over the coming week. Robinson's impressive statistics from the 2023 NFL season include leading the league with 2,298 yards from scrimmage, along with 1,478 yards and seven touchdowns, and 79 receptions for 820 yards and four touchdowns. His new deal includes $51 million in guaranteed money, with a salary of $22.25 million per year, surpassing the previous highest-paid running back, Saquon Barkley.
The Falcons are set to kick off their 2026 regular season schedule on September 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
