so I believe that puts him above Justin Jefferson for the 3rd highest paid WR...

Only JSN and JaMarr are higher.

Just looked up his stats, 1 1,000 yard season in 4 years. Granted, he only played 12 games last year and had 900 plus yards. He's good but not 3rd highest paid WR good.

Think having Tua and an injured Penix throwing to you is punishment enough to justify that deal

Still only 52% of a Chet Holmgren.

It’s his turn to get paid

He won’t be the 3rd highest paid WR in 2 years or even 1 year

In his defense, his QBs have been Desmond Ridder, Taylor Heinicke, Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix. Nowhere near an All-Pro in the group.

Not that the situation will get awesome with Tua and Penix, but he has put up some pretty good numbers all things considered.

At first glance a lot of people will think this is a bad deal for the Falcons, but as a football fanatic and historian, I guarantee you that this contract will help the Falcons maintain their consistent mediocrity for years to come.

Seems absurdly high. London is an excellent receiver, and brings a tremendous blocking ability and attitude to the team. Not a me-first guy.

He's also been very productive with mediocre QB play.

He's definitely a top 20 WR in the league.
