Matt Ryan News
Free-agent quarterback Matt Ryan, who announced he's joining the broadcast booth for the 2023 season, said it's unlikely that he'll play in the NFL again. "All the stars would have to [align]. I've just learned in the 15 years I've played, to not shut any doors," Ryan said. The former MVP made it clear he wasn't retiring earlier this week, but the chances of him joining another NFL team at this point are slim to none. He earned four Pro Bowl selections in his 14 years with the Atlanta Falcons and led his team to one Super Bowl appearance. As a 38-year-old for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022, Ryan had a career-low 14 touchdowns in 12 games and was eventually benched. If he were to officially retire, the Colts could come after some of the $12 million guaranteed they owe him after cutting him.
Free-agent quarterback Matt Ryan announced on Twitter that he's joining CBS Sports as an analyst this year, but that he's not retiring from the game. Ryan will be in the broadcast booth in 2023, but he's not closing the book on his NFL career after falling flat for the Indianapolis Colts in 2022. The 37-year-old former MVP completed 67 percent of his passes last year for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 12 games before he was benched. It wasn't entirely his fault, though, as the Colts' offensive line didn't give him much of a chance to be successful in the pocket. Even if Ryan does sign with another NFL team down the road, it won't be in anything more than a backup role.
The Indianapolis Colts released quarterback Matt Ryan on Tuesday, according to a source. The Colts moved on from Ryan well before releasing him on Tuesday, as he was benched midway through his first and only season with the team. It wasn't all the 37-year-old's fault, but he didn't exactly play very well, either. In 12 starts for the team, he completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Colts' offensive line did him no favors, and Ryan had virtually zero chance to succeed with hardly many clean pockets to throw from. The move to cut him will save the Colts over $17 million on the 2023 salary cap. The four-time Pro Bowler will look for work elsewhere if he wants to continue his playing career, but Ryan looked pretty washed up in 2022.
