ATVZ400New MemberOPMatt 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.
Both players are represented by Tom Condon of CAA.
Long received $30 million guaranteed in his deal with the Dolphins. Last year's No. 1 overall pick, quarterback JaMarcus Russell, got $29 million guaranteed from the Raiders.
The Falcons scheduled a news conference for Tuesday night.
Regan21286New MemberShrewd move for Ryan and Condon. Not so much for the Falcons. I thought they should've gone defense and drafted QB later.
Final MCAT attempt 5/28
Results: ???
Goal: 38+, Latest practice tests: 37, 35, 39
