Record deal...until Aaron Rodgers gets paid...

 

[oaken1]

Good for him. Matt Ryan is solid.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

I was reading where Rosen's 5th year option, if it comes to that, will be $22M. That will be a deal, because all the top QB will be getting $35.

 

[oaken1]

5 years for $150mil is some nice scratch

 

[Dr. Jones]

Arod is going to get 5 for 175 with 150 guaranteed. Whattawannabet?

Might even be 5 for 200.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Good for him... putting Cousins in his place

 

[NJCardFan]

Wow. That much coin to choke in the Super Bowl. Wonder how much he would have gotten had they won.

I say between 30-35

Slightly more guaranteed

was he the one that allowed the Pats to come back and score all those points?? I forget....

 

[Southpaw]

Not really. 1 year wonder.

 

[GatorAZ]

He was the one that was nearly perfect until their final drive. If Dovonta Freeman makes a block Ryan’s a future HOF.

yeah.... thats so clear..

I've got a feeling he won't make it through his contract

I think you read wrong

Rosen's 4 year deal is for a total of 18M, or 4.5 per season.

There is no way that jumps to 22M in the final year.

That would mean that (#2 pick) Barkley's 5th year would be more than 35M, if the ratio is the same, based on his first four years rookie contract of 31M (7.75M per season). Think about that for a second.

 

[unseenaz]

If Rosen turned into a Matt Ryan type qb I’d be elated

 

[NJCardFan]

Doesn't matter. Losing is a team effort.

No it's a positional average. Barkley would get like 10 million less.

Statistics are for debating. How does a guy who is not even top 10 deserve to be this week's highest paid NFL player?

95 -63. That is multi super bowl winner money. H O F money and he will need to buy a ticket. Sorta like Kirk Cousins was not worthy.

"Everything finally came together for Ryan during the 2016 season. The 32-year-old Boston College product completed 69.9 percent of his passes for 4,944 yards, 38 touchdowns and just seven interceptions en route to an NFL-best 117.1 passer rating.

Now, it's paid off in a major way, both literally and figuratively, even though his 2017 campaign wasn't quite as strong as the prior one, posting a 91.4 passer rating with 20 touchdowns."

"He'd often flashed the potential to become one of the league's top quarterbacks since the Falcons selected him with the third overall pick in the 2008 draft. The 2016 season was the first time he played at a top-tier level for the entire year, and he has the Most Valuable Player Award to show for it."

Got paid for 2016.

Funny thing is, if Eli Manning were paid that kind of money, pretty much everyone here would throw a fit complaining how much he sucks even though he has 2 Super Bowl rings. Incidentally, in their lone playoff matchup, Manning outplayed Ryan and the Giants basically shut Atlanta out.

 

[Billions of Mario]

That makes sense regarding the positional average, I still find it hard to believe Rosen will jump from an average of 4.5 to 22M in the final year.

Can that really be correct?

Edit: a big apology to Vermont Maverick here...I am frequently wrong but haven't been THIS wrong in awhile. It does look like it could be upwards of 22M *or more* in year 5:

https://frontofficenfl.com/2017/03/27/nfl-rookie-contracts-explained-fifth-year-option/

"The option for top-ten picks is set at an amount equal to the salary of the Transition Tender (set in Article 10, Section 4 of the CBA) for the player’s fourth contract year. This salary is calculated, to put it simply, by finding the average of the top ten highest Prior Year Salaries for players at the same position. "

Perspective: less than a year ago, there wasn't an NFL player averaging $25M a year. Since, Carr ($25.005M), Stafford ($27M), Garoppolo ($27.5M), Cousins ($28M) and now Ryan ($30M) have each set a new bar. QB market finally catching up to cap.

 

[daves]

Statistics 95-63. That is multi super bowl winner money.

Nope, that's just the new reality. It doesn't mean anyone considers him the best QB in the league, it's just a snapshot in time. Plenty of the QBs you have ranked above him will get more when their contracts are renewed. And 95-63 is pretty darned good.

Got paid for 2016.

Ryan has more passing yards through 10 seasons than any QB in history. Of course, this is also a reflection of the times, with passing games becoming ever more prolific. But, it's hardly the case that he had only one good year in his career. He's been pretty steadily one of the better QBs in the league, and he proved he's capable of taking his team to the Super Bowl and performing well enough to win it. So, his contract seems about right to me.

It would be interesting to see average QB salaries as a percentage of the salary cap, rather than in absolute numbers, to put things into perspective. I'm sure Ryan is FAR from highest paid in history by that measure.

Big Ben doesn't think your boy Rudolph is going to be playing anytime soon

Still not bad if he works out, it would be around 39 mil for 5 years. That is close to one year QB numbers now.
