Matt Ryan get extended, $100 mil guarenteed.

$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.

That is just top high.

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...

Very interesting. Do you have a link on that?

[tsylvester]

Wish I did, it was mentioned on Espn during the Get Up show this am by the stat guy. Side note, the show is terrible...

I am searching around. Found this.
