They may draft a QB and cut Matt Ryan this year. Does this mean we only have this year to continue enjoying this? Does Matt Ryan become our backup QB when they cut him?

Atlanta is tied to Ryan through 2022 because of his contract structure. Cutting or trading him this season would be a $65 million cap hit, while he only counts $26 million if he's on the roster. Cutting or trading him in 2022 would still be a $40 million cap hit.

Ryan's going nowhere any time soon.
