Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan is entering the last year of a $72 million contract, and could be the next quarterback to join the $100 million dollar club with his next contract. Baltimore Raven's QB Joe Flacco's new contract is a comparable for Ryan's next deal, according to Andrew Brandt of ESPN. "It's yet another comparable and data point for Matt Ryan," said Andrew Brandt, ESPN's NFL business analyst and former chief negotiator for the Green Bay Packers. "The gold standard was Drew Brees, at least on the average at $20 million (per season). Now, you have $20.1 million. It's certainly a place they could look at as the freshest data point."

Falcons | Matt Ryan moving past poor effort

Wed, 21 Nov 2012 07:17:28 -0800

Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan said he will not dwell on his five-interception performance in Week 11 and is moving forward. "You can't worry about it," Ryan said. "Part of playing this position in this league is knowing that there will be times when you make mistakes and fall flat on your face. You just have to get up and keep playing and keep throwing." Ryan will have to try not to get so many of his passes tipped. "The batted balls, there were some poor decisions, there were balls going off of receivers hands," head coach Mike Smith said. "It was just one of those games where the ball wasn't going to bounce our way, and it didn't bounce our way. We were able to overcome that."
