With free agency approaching, we're analyzing the quarterback position on the Atlanta Falcons.
2018 cap hits of top returnees:
Matt Ryan -- $21,650,000
Matt Schaub -- $3,500,000
Key stat: Ryan was the only quarterback among 32 players in the NFL who played every snap in 2017 (he had 1,024). The Falcons played in 11 games decided by six points or fewer, so they needed Ryan to play, and he has been durable throughout his career; he hasn't missed a start over the past eight seasons.
