Fill in the blank: If Matt Ryan is worth $30 million a year, Aaron Rodgers is worth …. ?
We’ll probably find out soon. In news that will resonate in Green Bay as much as it will in Atlanta, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan agreed to a five-year extension worth $30 million a season with $100 million guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. Ryan is the first player in NFL history to get a contract worth $30 million per season.
That contract comes as the Green Bay Packers work on an extension for Rodgers, a two-time MVP who is universally regarded as a better quarterback than Ryan and perhaps the best in the NFL.
