Matt Ryan Announces Retirement from NFL

Longtime Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Ends 16-Year Career

Thankful for Atlanta, Ryan Embarks on New Chapter as CBS Sports Analyst

In an emotional press conference, Matt Ryan, the legendary quarterback who spent the majority of his career with the Atlanta Falcons, announced his retirement from the NFL. With a record of 124-109-1 as a starter, including a 120-102 mark with the Falcons, Ryan leaves a lasting legacy as one of the most successful quarterbacks in franchise history.

Ryan, now 38 years old, was selected by the Falcons in the first round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He quickly became a cornerstone for the team, leading them to numerous playoff appearances and their first Super Bowl appearance in 2017. Ryan also earned NFL MVP honors in 2016 after leading the Falcons to an 11-5 record and a berth in the NFC Championship Game.

In his retirement announcement, Ryan expressed his gratitude to the city of Atlanta and the Falcons organization for their support throughout his career. He also announced his transition to a new role as an NFL analyst for CBS Sports.

"I'm going to miss the game, but I'm excited about this next chapter in my life," said Ryan. "I'm grateful for everything the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons have given me, and I'm looking forward to contributing to the game in a new way."

Ryan's retirement marks the end of an era for the Falcons, who will now look to build a new era around a new quarterback. However, Ryan's legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire future generations of Falcons players and fans.
