Falcons' fans biggest fear was finally put to rest with crucial Matt Ryan update

It feels like only a matter of time before Matt Ryan is hired as the Atlanta Falcons' president of football. He's the runaway favorite for the position and has been for a while now, but the only thing keeping Arthur Blank from making this move official is remaining in compliance with the league's hiring policy.

He'll be back in the facility soon, but originally, fans were worried about what the position would mean for Ryan's growing career in sports media. It was reported that he wanted to remain at CBS and balance his on-air responsibilities with being the president of football, but this is no longer the case.
