Matt Ryan Signs with Falcons
FALCONS SIGN RYAN
Posted by Mike Florio on May 20, 2008, 3:52 p.m.
So much for those concerns that agent Tom Condon would take full advantage of the fact that the Falcons desperately needed quarterback Matt Ryan, the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, under contract ASAFP.
The Falcons have announced that Ryan has agreed to terms.
Adam Schefter reports that the six-year package is worth a total of $72 million, with $34.75 million in guaranteed money. Jake Long, the No. 1 overall pick, signed only a five-year deal, but likewise received only $30 million guaranteed.
Ryan is the second first-round pick to sign, and the fifth total draft pick under contract. The Dolphins signed three late-rounders on Monday.

This is really good for Atlanta! He will be able to participate in mini camps and training camp. Good to see they are off to an excellent start.

his paycheck is absolutely RIDICULOUS!
He gets as much guaranteed money as Peyton Manning & Ben Roethlisberger...and he hasn't even thrown a SINGLE PASS YET!!!
I have no idea whether he will be good or not, but I'm pretty sure rookie contracts like this are part of the reason owners opted out of the current labor deal...rookie contracts have got to change.
