Atlanta Locked Up Its Offensive Trio, but the Hard Part Is Not Over

Atlanta has locked up its offensive trio of Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts with long-term contracts. Robinson inked a three-year extension worth up to $75 million, including $51 million guaranteed, while London and Pitts secured multi-year deals totaling around $150 million. This monumental investment in the team's future cements the trio as the backbone of the Falcons offense.

However, the real challenge lies ahead, as the team now faces the daunting task of improving their quarterback situation.

The ongoing quarterback situation, including recent struggles with Kirk Cousins and the medical setbacks of Tua Tagovailoa, has led to instability and questions about the team's long-term success.

The Falcons have made significant strides in locking up their offensive star players, but the quarterback conundrum remains the single most critical issue for the franchise to address if they hope to build a championship contender.
