Atlanta Falcons Star Quarterback Extends Stay with Franchise
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has agreed to a five-year contract extension with the team, solidifying his status as the face of the franchise for years to come. The extension, worth $67.5 million over six years, includes a $7.45 million signing bonus.
This contract makes Ryan the highest-paid player in the NFL on an annual basis, with an average salary of $30 million. He is now the first player in NFL history to reach the $30 million per year salary mark.
Ryan, 33, has been the Falcons' starting quarterback since 2008 and has led the team to a number of successes, including an appearance in Super Bowl LI in 2017. He has been selected to four Pro Bowls and has been named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year once.
The Falcons are hoping that Ryan can continue to lead the team to success in the coming years. The team has made a number of changes to its roster this offseason, including the addition of wide receiver Calvin Ridley and running back Devonta Freeman.
Ryan's contract extension is a clear indication of the team's commitment to him and their belief that he can lead them to a Super Bowl championship.
