Imagine a fantasy world where Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank rides around on his purple unicorn, throwing solid gold coins at rabid crowds by the handful. It’s a world where money doesn’t matter, and the salary cap is an defunct artifact no one even mentions anymore. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Unfortunately that’s not the reality we live in.
The Falcons are singularly focused on getting Matt Ryan’s contract extension done right now. Once it’s a done deal, they will move on to their next contract conundrum. And like it or not, the contract conundrums will come at the Falcons fast and furious over the next couple years.
