Probably should only get paid for the first 3 quarters of the year

lulz

[David Dennison 19131]

Good for him, but wow.

[Machinator 32099]

If you think this is a lot, wait until Wilson, Rodgers, and Wentz sign their extensions.

He was my Fantasy QB for the first few weeks of the year and stunk up the place. Always underperformed and finally made the permanent switch to my ~10th Round backup QB for the rest of the season...

...a 2nd year player by the name of Carson Wentz.

Dumpled Ryan late in the season because Blake Bortles was outperforming him. I do no trust Ryan as a top QB... but the Falcons don't care what I think.

Mr Regular Season.

Rogers is just going to kill the open market... Guessing 32-35 million plus per year

More Blank on Ryan: ““So, yes, we were very generous with Matt and I think he’ll be able to feed those new twin babies...

 

Its tough out there. 15 years ago Latrell Sprewell couldn't feed his kids at $7,000,000 a year. with price of living undoubtedly going up and having twins...how in the world is Matt going to do this at $30,000,000 a year? 

[Bigpoppapump 532]

Heard a rumor the initial offer was 28.3 Million a year.

He's had 2 good seasons in his career. 2012 and 2016. Both ended in massive choke jobs. We all know the 28-3 Super Bowl lead but he also blew a 17pt lead against the Niners at home in the NFC title game. They have surrounded him with big time offensive weapons, too. So no excuses.

I thought the Falcons colors were red and black? Cause that sure seems like a blue falcon thing to do to his teammates against the salary cap...

Not everyone gets to marry a supermodel to offset the hometown discount like Tommay gives NE.

 

That being said, I think in football, it really does come down to grabbing what you can personally and how much you want your team to win with a better roster.

[Bateshorn 9964]

I don't begrudge Ryan for grabbing what he can, while he can, but in the out year's of this deal, he's going to probably going to wonder if it was worth it when he's throwing to JAGs while his defense get's marched up and down the field.

At some point, either QB's are going to have to start moderating their pay in order to field competitive teams, or the collective bargaining agreement is going to need to address QB pay.

You'll never win super bowls like this.  There is always going to be a well rounded team with good enough QB play that is going to be better.

[Neonmoon 38130]

Sadly...QB is the hardest job in the world. 

As in, there are only 32 positions to be filled, and probably only 10 that are really good at it. So if you are good at being an NFL QB, you're really one of the rarest people on earth. And since million pay to watch said job, the QB will be paid way more than any human should be

Matt Ryan was never going to win a Super Bowl anyways. Might as well get the money before your career ends.

Agree.  I'll never fault a player for signing a contract.  Just this idea that in a hard cap league devoting so much resource to one position isn't sound.

Arthur Blank Check, amiright?

 

Anyway, he should cut Shanahan a check as thanks.

Is there a ceiling for professional athlete salaries?

damn..$30 million

No max contracts in the NFL, but there is a hard salary cap.

[pacman 7439]

I understand that but you would think the yearly salary would reach a ceiling at some point.

 

$30 million is insane but it likely doesn't make a year as the highest salary. At some point, fans and tv can pay only so much. Was just curious if anybody thought there was some magic number that would eventually act as a ceiling.

[Vic Mackey 47391]

I mean in reality, most of these athletes are underpaid in terms of the revenue they bring in for their leagues and owners. Especially players like Lebron and Brady.

[Gene Parmesan 4024]

It's all about revenue.  The NFL is actually pretty tame outside of the QB position.  The numbers are a lot crazier in other sports.

[Bateshorn 9964]

I'd rather the players get the money than the owners.  The issue is fielding a competitive team with your QB eating up so much salary.

Nice F'd-up thread title

[CurlyDumps 4561]

Why do we do this thread every time a QB signs a new contract?

[HOOK'EMHOOAH 1610]

I mean could he at least bring in some fucking groceries for the others guy's families once in a while at least? I know he's gonna be hard up with only $30MM per year but the other guys are barely even making ends meet!

Same reason you bitch and complain every time one is made.
