The source notes the focus on receiving yards suggests this was a compromise to establish Robinson as more than just a runner, with a path to $25 million per year maximum if escalators are earned. The deal reflects the Falcons' intent to deploy Robinson as a dual-threat back with significant pass-catching responsibility.
