Falcons sign QB Matt Ryan to $150 million dollar record deal





Matt Ryan, 32, has made history once again as he becomes the first player in NFL history to make $30 million annually and be guaranteed $100 million dollars in a contract. It's unchartered waters right now but look for Packers QB Aaron Rodgers to go above that mark set by Ryan and the Falcons.

 The deal is for $150 million in total and it is a 5-year extension which ensures that Ryan will likely finish his career in an Atlanta uniform.

 Ryan is two seasons removed from carrying the Falcons to their 2nd Super Bowl in franchise history and he also won MVP, also a first in Falcons history. He threw a franchise record 38 touchdown passes for 4,944 yards with a 117.1 QB rating.

 He surpasses Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins ($84 million guaranteed) who signed a new deal this past summer.

 The only question that this ponders is will they have enough money to pay their superstar receiver Julio Jones who is due soon also. Jones has stirred the pot with a social media storm at the end of last month.
