NFL receiver becomes third highest-paid after Falcons deal

London’s new deal is one of the biggest contracts at his position and moves him firmly into the top tier of the receiver market.

Spotrac lists London’s extension as a four-year, $141 million agreement with the Atlanta Falcons, including $100 million guaranteed.

The contract carries an average annual salary of $35.25 million, a figure that reflects London’s standing in Atlanta’s plans.

London now ranks as the third highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL by average annual salary.

Chase and Smith-Njigba are the only receivers listed ahead of him on that measure.

For Atlanta, the agreement removes any uncertainty around London’s future and keeps one of their most important offensive players under contract long term.

Why the Falcons have made a long-term commitment to Drake London

London arrived in Atlanta as the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and has become the Falcons’ leading receiving option.

ESPN lists London as an active Falcons wide receiver and records his 2025 regular-season numbers at 68 catches, 919 yards and seven touchdowns.

His career totals now stand at 309 receptions, 3,961 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns across 62 regular-season games.

Those numbers help explain why Atlanta have moved to secure him on a long-term deal before he reached the open market.

The contract also gives the Falcons clarity around one of the central pieces of their passing game.

London is now being paid like one of the NFL’s elite wide receivers, and Atlanta have made a clear financial commitment to keeping him at the heart of their offence.
