What does Matt Ryan cost under the salary cap?
Ryan's contract is a well know millstone for the Falcons but they renegotiated it from more than $48 million to $36 million. However, only $23.5 million transfers to the Colts and it would be $28 million in 2023. Not cheap but reasonable in the current quarterback market.
Can Matt Ryan continue to produce at age 37?
Eight other starting quarterbacks have produced a pass rating within 3 points either way of Ryan's 90.
