STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Robinson's elite production and youth support gigantic contract; cap impact manageable.

Robinson is last year's leader in scrimmage yards with 3,910 rushing yards and is already 7th on Atlanta's all-time rushing list at age 24; he is an excellent receiver, greatly improved blocker, and widely loved Falcon. The source notes the combination of talent, potential, and importance for Atlanta means he's going to get a gigantic deal from the franchise. Even a record-setting running back deal would likely be a smaller percentage of Atlanta's salary cap than Ezekiel Elliott was for the Cowboys, Todd Gurley for the Rams, or Christian McCaffrey's extension with the Panthers, simply because of cap inflation and running back valuation remaining lower than other position groups, meaning the deal should not destroy Atlanta's long-term cap flexibility on its own.
