From ESPN:
| Quote: |
Matt Ryan officially became the face of the Atlanta Falcons when he was selected as the third pick in the NFL draft. On Tuesday, the Falcons rewarded him with plenty of green.
Ryan became the second top draft choice to sign when he accepted a six-year, $72 million contract that included $34.75 million in guarantees. Less than a week before the draft, tackle Jake Long signed a five-year, $57.75 million deal with the Miami Dolphins. |

| Like Arrowhead mentioned in another thread, it's a bit ludicrous that these guys are making that much and have never even stepped on an NFL field before. This team's not even going to be ready to win for another 2 or 3 years at least, anyway. It's such a waste. It's something that has to be addressed in the negotiations for the next CBA. Even Players' Association president Kevin Mawae shared that view. |

This kind of thing is what kills the NFL teams and salary caps. It is just wrong to pay these guys so much, when they haven't played yet.

I wonder if the talks of the new CBA not being in place will have an impact on this in the near future?
