Ryan

This just in. Atlanta and Matt Ryan are having open contract talks. Ryan, Atlanta’s first round draft pick, and 3rd overall selection, was a much heralded athlete at Boston College. Having thrown for over 4,000 yards and 31 touchdowns his senior year, he was a surefire top ten pick. While Ryan may be the first 1st round pick to sign, many speculate this COULD turn to be another JaMarcus Russell type of situation. Last year Russell wasn’t signed until September, as a result he missed valuable practice time during the summer camps. They (Atlanta) have to get these negotiations under way to avoid that mess.

The next quarterback taken was Joe Flacco to the Ravens. He has also started contract negotiations and scheduled a meeting TODAY to go over some of the terms. It looks to be smooth sailing in the next couple of weeks for Flacco and the Ravens

Michael Strahan, future hall of famer and defensive end for the giants seems to be contemplating STILL over retiring or coming back for a 16th season. Many signs point to yes, he will come back. The giants defensive end hopes to get 8 million dollars for playing one more year, the giants have been reported to saying that 6 million will be as high as they go. Reportedly, Strahan said that his body is still in top shape . His agent also said he has one more year of elite football left in him. However, it doesn’t seem right to come back after your 15th season, in which you won a Super Bowl. Look at Jerome Bettis, he left his legacy in super form. The same could be said about Strahan, we’ll just have to wait and see.strahan
