Drake London, the standout wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons, is set to have his fifth-year option picked up by the team. Selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2022 draft, London emerged as the Falcons' premier receiving threat, amassing 1,271 receiving yards and nine touchdowns last season. His fifth-year option will add approximately $16.8 million to the team's salary cap for the 2026 season, following a $6.8 million cap hit in 2025. London has showcased his immense talent throughout his career, with a total of 3,042 yards and 15 touchdowns across three seasons.

Transitioning into 2025 with Michael Penix Jr. slated as quarterback, London will have worked with five different quarterbacks over his four seasons, a factor that could impact his performance. As the Falcons look to build on their offensive strategy, London remains a central figure in their plans.
