Signing Ryan a big deal
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
That was fast! A bit surprising on the amount of money and the length of the deal, but I like the timing of it. Signing Matt Ryan that quickly tells me the Falcons are determined to get on with the future.
Kudos to Arthur Blank and Dimitroff for getting the contract signed. Not so sure about the hefty amount. $72 million is a lot of money and 6 years is a long time for someone who hasn’t played an NFL game. I do like the commitment to Ryan and the fans, but I hope it doesn’t come back to bite us. Sure, it’s not my money (although the fans will be paying for it at the gate and concessions), but I do wish they would have signed him for less money.
Obviously, it’s too early to tell if he’s worth it, but I can’t wait to see if he can live up to the expectations.
Go Falcons!
