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.

The Chiefs can't spend with the Cowboys.

It's already that way.

The chance Dorsey isn't worth a 10th of what he'll get is not small. Being a first round pick doesn't mean he'll be great.
This is the way it is. Deal with it.

Pretty much, that's why several teams are bitching, I know people were making fun of Ralph Wilson in that other thread but you know the Chiefs are alot closer to him than say the Redskins.

This getting done properly is essential to the future of the Chiefs, if it stays like it is now they will become a have not team.

Yep, but thats why we should hope the owners, and not the players union get their way.

I'm not sure that is the case. Typically, the Chiefs are right at the cap. Also, I'm 85% sure I have read that all NFL teams must spend some specified minimum percentage of the cap. Is this not true?

Yes there is a floor, but you can see a stark difference in how the Chiefs do business and how the Cowboys do it.

Sure it is different but if I am not mistaken Carl has historically had the Chiefs near the cap and often over the cap. It is only the last two years that the Chiefs have been well under the cap. I don't see ownership as cheap; I see Carl as foolish with the money. Really take a moment and think about Hicks' last contract or any of the old CBs we have bought in free-agency since Carter and Hasty departed. For all the talk of being a tough SOB negotiator Carl has gotten the shaft on a lot of signings.

I have a question on this topic. In this story on nfl.com, it said, "The Falcons' haste in finalizing the deal with Ryan received a boost when word leaked the NFL owners, who met Tuesday in Atlanta, were about to opt out of a labor deal with the players' union in 2011. Before the owners' unanimous vote, the deal could not have gone through 2013.

The Falcons and Ryan's agent, Tom Condon, already had agreed on six years as the basis for their deal, and to make that happen they needed to complete the negotiations by Tuesday.

"We couldn't have gotten a six-year contract if we didn't get this deal done by 4 today," Blank said." So what does that mean for the rest of the nfl teams?

How in the world are the Falcons going to sign all of the rest of their draft picks? Just the pro rated portion of his signing bonus is right at 5.8 million a year. And from an ESPN article, I got these figures on what teams salary caps for rookies are. That includes all drafted rookies and all free agent rookies that are signed. Chiefs are Number one in cap space this season and Falcons were number two, but my goodness...

KC 12(picks) $8,221,790
ATL 11(picks) $7,918,670

The salary cap is meaningless.

I really feel that there should be a Rookie Salary Cap to handle this crap. I understand why verteran players are getting so upset with these rookie contracts. I mean they haven't proven shit to anyone, and if they want a huge contract they should earn it.

Agreed. Even if he is medocre, he is vastly overpaid. Depending on where the cap goes from here, it could be terribly crippling if he busts.
