Matt Ryan signs 5 yr extension - $30 mil/yr, $100 mil guaranteed

Sources: Falcons' Ryan 1st $30M per year QB

Ho. Ly. Shit.

Aaron Rodgers is the happiest guy in the league right now.

Seems about right given what other guys got this off-season. Still an asinine amount of money

tducey · May 3, 2018

I like him, he's among the game's best QB's. That said it's a bit of an overpayment IMO.

Sweet merciful crap. That's almost Flacco-level lunacy.

Rodgers gonna get like 33M now, lmao

Can everyone who chortled about how Wilson's deal was the looming sign of the apocalypse change their vote now?

Every new premier QB contract is always an overpay. Until the next year.

Ricky Roma · May 3, 2018

Jimmy G. is now officially underpaid.

I didn't realize Ryan was only 32. This'll seem reasonable in 3 years. I think he's a top 5 QB

He'll be 33 this month

K. Still, 38 when contract ends, might even get another then, if current trends continue.

Think of when QBS in the near future have to be paid such as Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys and Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to name just a few.

My guess is they will be significantly over paid even if they dont hit $30 mil because they arent quite as good as the top in the league

Hopefully the cap will rise to allow this or teams will not be able to stay as competitive as you do usually need more than just a good QB

jarntt · May 3, 2018

Boy, I get the cost for a good QB and I've always liked Ryan, but he is 33 and had one great year. He is a Good QB, but not a great QB and if I remember correctly the cap hasn't gone up much this year or next. Methinks Atlanta may regret this, but until we see the specifics it's tough to say. $100M guaranteed sure sounds a little reckless to me though

Flacco got his after a SB at least

Chewbaccer · May 3, 2018

Ryan has always driven me crazy. He had one great year, but throughout his career, it seems like he;s always just been good enough to keep around, but not good enough to take a team over the top.

But he is better and more accomplished the Cousins, and he does own Aaron Rodgers head to head, so I guess you have to pay the man.

redseat · May 3, 2018

Will he have Julio Jones to throw too? I know he's with them until 2019 but with that contract he just got would they have the money to resign Jones?

Moab · May 3, 2018

I don't see it as an overpay. If Cousins is worth $28m, how can Ryan not be worth $30m? If that's the market, then the man got paid the market, unless of course you believe Cousins is better or worth more than Ryan...
