Let’s start this conversation by stating that there has been no indication from the Atlanta Falcons nor Matt Ryan that he is even contemplating that sort of franchise changing decision. However, with many players over the last several years leaving the game in their primes, this has to be a thought process for every general manager.
Like Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan is still a young guy. He too has made a lot of money playing the game of football and wants to be able to live life after the game. Both Luck and Ryan have young kids at home and the pull to be a father is one that affects each man differently.
