Receivers and their value are top of mind for the league, too, at the NFL Annual League Meetings.
On March 25, it was announced Seahawks standout wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba agreed to a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid receiver. Other top pass catchers and their imminent pay days were also big topics of discussion, particularly Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who head coach Sean McVay said he hopes is "a Ram for a really long time."
Though Cunningham did not allude to a London decision being imminent, he did say he does keep tabs on the market.
"You have to take (the timing of the market) into account just in terms of preparation as we go down those paths of extension talks with all of these guys," Cunningham said. "You have to kind of have your eyes set on the league and who's going to be coming up this year, who's going to potentially come up next year, how that's going to affect the potential franchise tag moving forward. All of those mechanisms, all those things are taken into account."
Unlike some of the examples dominating league meetings in Phoenix, the Falcons have time on their side with London under contract for another year.
"We don't want outside factors to push us into feeling like we have to make a decision right now," Cunningham added.
Still, it doesn't hurt to begin thinking about London's future — and Bijan Robinson's, too. The latter of whom could have his own fifth-year option picked up by the deadline of May 1.
"I feel like what we do a really good job of is preparing for that," Cunningham said, "but also understanding that we have things that we really need to attack right now, and then we will attack those moving forward."
Cunningham noted he wants to get through the next wave of free agency and the draft before really getting too deep into these types of decisions. He'd also like to meet London in person, too, as the receiver has been home training in California since the season ended.
So, even though his future is top of mind for Cunningham and the Falcons, it's OK to stay there for a little bit.
"Let's take it a day at a time," Cunningham concluded.
