Drake London inks contract extension with Falcons: Everything to know
Drake London is booking an extended stay in the Atlanta Falcons' nest.
The star receiver has agreed to a four-year extension with the Falcons, according to reports. London's deal is worth $141 million. It could reach $150 million and comes with $100 million guaranteed. Adam Schefter was the first to report the compensation.
London might not have the gaudy numbers you'd want from a top receiver in the league, but he is the Falcons' best weapon on offense behind Bijan Robinson. Unlike Robinson, London has been a victim of shaky quarterback play since entering the league.
The Falcons finally appeared to stop the revolving door when they drafted Michael Penix Jr., who proved to develop a great connection with London. Despite being limited to just 12 games because of injury, the receiver was on pace for the best season of his career in 2025.
Atlanta is betting the production arrow will continue to point in the right direction, especially since the salary will demand it.
