After sitting out last season, Matt Ryan is announcing his retirement from the NFL, signing a one-day contract with the Falcons.
Matt Ryan is hanging up his cleats, but not before going back to where he began his NFL career. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback announced his retirement on Monday, making it official after signing a one-day contract with the Atlanta Falcons. 'So today, 16 years after being drafted, my childhood dream has officially come to an end. I'm honored to retire as a Falcon,' Ryan said in a social media video, which showed him writing a message to Falcons fans.
That success carried into the postseason, where Ryan led Atlanta to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1998. Ryan and the Falcons' dream season came to a crashing end though in Super Bowl LI. They blew a 28-3 lead to the New England Patriots as the Falcons failed to score on their final four drives before losing in overtime.
