The Atlanta Falcons made franchise quarterback Matt Ryan the highest paid quarterback in the league, giving him a five-year contract extension that includes $100 million guaranteed. Ryan becomes the first NFL player to be making $30 million a year, and it's not hard to see why considering his production and accolades. Still, with a 4-6 record in the playoffs and no Super Bowls, many feel that he was overpaid. What do you think?
PERSPECTIVES
Ryan has been an elite quarterback in the NFL since 2010. He's led the Falcons to six playoff appearances, won two AP Offensive Player of the Year awards and an NFL MVP.
