Falcons sign Ryan to $72M contract
Quote:
Falcons sign Ryan to $72M contract

By Peter King, SI.com

In a stunning contract sure to have ramifications up and down the first round of the NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons have signed QB Matt Ryan, the third pick in April's draft, to a six-year, $72 million contract with a hefty $34.75 million bonus.

The Falcons obviously wanted to get Ryan in camp without a holdout. The franchise is eager to lift black cloud that has hung over the franchise since Michael Vick was jailed in a shocking dogfighting case and coach Bobby Petrino jilted the team with three games left in the season, leaving for Arkansas.

Ryan is expected to compete for the starting job with Falcon roster holdovers Joey Harrington and Chris Redman. Obviously, it's only a matter of time before he wins the job as Atlanta's quarterback of the future.

NFL teams had been trying to hold down rookie salaries this year, and Miami's signing of No. 1 pick Jake Long to a reported five-year, $57.75 million contract with $30 million guaranteed was a step in the right direction because it contained approximately the same guaranteed money as last year's top pick, JaMarcus Russell, received from the Oakland Raiders. But $34 million guaranteed for the third pick will surely draw the ire of other teams and general managers trying to hold the line.

He'll still wait until the last milisecond to get his and Albert's contracts done. He's Carl - it's what he does, the tough S.O.B.

This, of course, is part of why teams want to renegotiate the CBA. Slotted rookie salaries makes a helluva lot of sense, and I have no idea why the union would oppose them. It makes no sense for a rookie to get more than anybody except a multiple pro bowl veteran.

The Dorsey holdout just began.

NO way the King is going to actually pay Dorsey what he's worth.

Blank just fucked every other team in the league.

WTF does this have to do with what a rookie is worth? The ****ing problem here is them wanting 10 times what they're worth.

It's not Peterson. It's the cheap organization. We'll see if anything has changed.

This is why the old CBA had to go. The NFL needs to get their act together and implement and NBA style rookie pay scale.

He has a larger contract than the new one Romo just signed...the system is broken.

Not only does this set the bar insanely high this year, but if Brodie doesn't pan out and we have to draft a QB next year, we will be double-effed by this.

Anyone else want to go in on a congratulatory set of Pitt Bulls I'm going to send ryan? I figure 20 should last him 2months or so.

We're forgetting the Raiders picked McFadden right before us.

Arthur just beat Al to the punch is all.

Either way, Dorsey was going to cost us a shit-ton of cash.

I don't think this will have much impact on Dorsey. Long signed for $57 million with $30 million guaranteed. QB's will always make more money than anyone else.

I agree though that the NFL does need to do what the NBA does as far as rookie slotting.
