Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is set to make $19.25 million on the final year of his six-year, $103.75 million contract that he signed in July 2013.

Ryan’s 2013 deal remains among the richest for NFL quarterbacks. San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo recently signed the largest contract for a quarterback -- worth $137.5 million -- after starting five games in the 2017 season.

The team has said signing Ryan to a long-term extension is its top priority this offseason.

"We want to treat Matt well," Falcons owner Arthur Blank told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "He's been a great quarterback for us for 10 years. Hopefully, he'll play another (10)."

Here are the richest contracts for active quarterbacks (year signed):

1. Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers (2018): $137.5 million
2. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions (2013): $135 million
3. Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders (2017): $125 million
4. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts (2016): $122.97 million
5. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (2013): $110 million
6. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers (2015): $103.8 million
7. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons (2013): $103.75 million
8. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals (2014): $96 million
9. Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs/Washington Redskins (2014): $94 million
10. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks (2015): $87.6 million
