According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, the Atlanta Falcons plan on looking into getting a contract extension for quarterback Matt Ryan. Right now his contract will expire in 2014.
We don’t know how much money Ryan will be looking for, but I’d have to believe it’s in the same neighborhood as the $15 million Joe Flacco wants from Baltimore.
If I was Ryan, I wouldn’t rush to sign a new deal. I’d do what I can do get back to the playoffs and actually win a playoff game, so he can bring more leverage with him to the bargaining table.
