Overview
- Robinson signed the extension on Wednesday that keeps him under contract through the 2030 season and makes him the highest-paid running back in NFL history with reported terms worth up to $75 million and $51 million guaranteed.
- Multiple outlets report the structure includes a large signing bonus, guaranteed base salaries in the first years and option/roster bonuses that produce a $22.25 million new‑money average annual value.
- The Falcons moved to ramp Robinson back into practice after the signing; head coach Kevin Stefanski said the team will gradually increase his participation to protect his health and readiness for the regular season.
- Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs remains in incomplete talks with the Lions and continues to limit participation in physical drills, with Lions GM Brad Holmes saying the club is ‘having dialogue’ about a deal.
- League insiders and peers say Robinson’s signing has reset the market for top running backs and could allow Gibbs to press for equal or higher terms, a dynamic that may shape several RB extensions this offseason.
