The Atlanta Falcons believe they're close to agreement with Matt Ryan on a contract extension.

“I think we’re close,” Thomas Dimitroff told 680 The Fan in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Kirk Cousins set a new mark of $84 million over three years and Ryan will surely aim for that amount. But Cousins hit the open market, which creates a different type of leverage.
