According to Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons have inked Drake London to a massive four-year contract extension.

Adam Schefter then followed with the details of the extension. It’s a four-year, $141 million contract extension for Drake London with incentives that could push it all the way up to $150 million.
Falcons are signing WR Drake London to a four-year, $141 million extension worth up to $150 million, including $100 million guaranteed, per his agent Andrew Kessler. It makes London the third highest paid receiver in the league with the highest average per year in Falcons… https://t.co/JayLqVcJQ7

The extension makes London the third-highest paid wide receiver in the league, and it’s more than deserved. London caught for 1,271 yards in 2024, and though there was a dip to 919 this past season, he actually averaged more yards per game — missing five contests and averaging 76.6 yards per contest when he was out there.
Now imagine what those numbers could look like if London ever develops a consistent rapport with a starting quarterback. The Falcons have been playing musical chairs at the position ever since he was drafted 8th overall four years ago, and he’s somehow still found a way to produce.
But beyond the statistics, Drake London is the epitome of the kind of leader the Falcons should be building around. There aren’t many receivers in the league as focused on their blocking assignments as they are on getting open, but London is one who relishes the little things that make an offense tick as a whole.
This was always an extension the Falcons were going to get done. Up next, expect Bijan Robinson to reset the market at the running back position — another player who epitomizes everything the new regime is trying to build in Atlanta.
