3 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons restructured quarterback Matt Ryan's contract to create $12 million in salary cap space in 2022. Ryan was due $23.75 million in cash this season and previously had a cap number of $48.662 million. As of Friday, the Falcons were $4.2 million under the salary cap, but $1.7 million over in effective cap space, according to Over the Cap. The 37-year-old signal-caller has two years left on his current deal and is heading into his 15th season in the NFL, all with the Falcons. The four-time Pro Bowler completed 375 of 560 passes (67%) for 3,968 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last year. His No. 1 pass-catcher, Calvin Ridley, missed most of the year and is suspended for all of 2022 due to gambling, so Ryan isn't a realistic QB1 in fantasy at this point.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
