Make way for young people on the Indianapolis side.
According to WSB-TV and confirmed by The Athletic, Matt Ryan is going to be cut by the Indianapolis Colts.
This decision is only logical. The 37-year-old quarterback has not convinced since his trade in the Indianapolis franchise during the 2022 offseason. In 12 games, the former MVP of the 2016 NFL season threw for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns, 13 interceptions with 67% completed passes. It was also sacked 38 times in 2022.
This cut will allow the Colts to save $17.2 million in payroll, with also $18 million in dead money. Regarding the player, unless he finds a contract with another team, Matt Ryan will receive $ 12 million guaranteed in 2023 from a new contract negotiated by his agent during the trade.
After the departure of Stephon Gilmore, it is therefore another veteran who is leaving the Indianapolis franchise. This decision shows the franchise’s desire to rejuvenate the workforce in key positions.
