Matt Ryan has been released after the Falcons drop their 6th straight game. GM Kimura had this to say "We don't blame Ryan for the losses and he has been the face of this franchise since being draft, we just think it's time to move in a different direction". You can't blame the Falcons for making the move, Ryan is making over 16 million the next few seasons and set to make a astounding 30 million in his contract year. With his mediocre stats and the Falcons set to drat in the top 10 for the 3rd consecutive year the dirty birds had to move on.
