The deal will make London the third-highest-paid receiver in the NFL and the highest-ever average per year for the Atlanta Falcons.

The $35.25 million average annual value of London's new deal makes him the NFL's third-highest-paid receiver behind the Seattle Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($42.15 million) and the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase ($40.25 million).

The Falcons will now look to extend other top players, as they have already picked up Bijan Robinson's fifth-year option in April and franchise-tagged Kyle Pitts for 2026.

London will play the 2026 season under the fifth-year option of his rookie deal, which is worth $16.8 million this season.
