tsylvester Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 $30 mil per year... $150 mil total  Is he worth it? Sure, great qb until the 4th quarter of playoff games.... But give him a defense and watch out... I think, as we have talked about for years now, the league HAS to make cap exemptions soon, yes? This is nuts. Rogers, who has won the big game and for me is a better qb, is going to top $200, I would bet.  The Falcons have agreed to terms with quarterback Matt Ryan on a five-year, $150 million contract extension with $100 million guaranteed, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported, via a source informed of the situation. The new deal runs through the 2023 season and will make Ryan the first player to average at least $30 million per year.http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000931322/article/matt-ryan-falcons-agree-to-fiveyear-150m-contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 According to Espn, in the last 15 years no team has won the Super Bowl while paying a qb 15% or more of its cap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
