nypost.comThe Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms on a four-year, $141 million contract extension with wide receiver Drake London that can reach $150 million with incentives. The extension carries $100 million in guaranteed money. London becomes the third-highest-paid receiver in the league by average annual value.
Contract details His agent, Andrew Kessler, confirmed the agreement to multiple outlets. The deal secures the former first-round pick through the 2029 season. London was the eighth overall selection in the 2021 draft. He has posted at least 866 receiving yards in each of his first four NFL seasons.
Performance background In 2024 he recorded career highs of 100 receptions, 1,271 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. Last season he missed time with a PCL sprain and hip injury but still produced 919 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. Pro Football Focus ranked him fifth among 81 qualifying receivers with an 88.0 grade for that campaign.
Organizational context The extension provides continuity at wide receiver while the franchise undergoes coaching and roster changes. The team recently dismissed head coach Raheem Morris and hired Kevin Stefanski. It also added quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was released by his previous club.
Running back Bijan Robinson and tight end Kyle Pitts remain under contract and could receive extension offers in future offseasons.
