STACKED’s take
Robinson holding out of camp Day 1 over contract; seeking highest-paid RB status.
Robinson did not practice on the first day of training camp due to contract negotiations; The Athletic's Josh Kendall reports the Falcons and Robinson's representation have been discussing a new deal this summer but have not reached an accord. Robinson is under contract for 2026 with a fifth-year option held by the team, but is seeking to become the league's highest-paid running back and achieve long-term financial security. The source notes Robinson was not in cleats or helmet but did footwork and jogging, engaging with teammates. He was originally scheduled to meet media but did not. The source characterizes this as a short-term hold-in situation worth monitoring but not immediately concerning given Robinson's reputation as a great teammate and no indication of acrimony.
