[Falconator]

#1-Jake Long, OT/Miami - 5yrs, $57.5million & $30mil/guaranteed

#3-Matt Ryan, QB/Atlanta - 6yrs, $72million & $34.75mil/guaranteed


Wow! I realize the Falcons paid a lot to get Matt Ryan(hope he's worth it!). I bet Billy Devaney and the gang at Rams Park are not happy about it while I am sure that the Dolphins are loving the fact that they got Jake Long signed for less (and before) Matt Ryan.

Granted, QB's get more money as its obvious to all that QB is the "premier" position in the NFL. I think at the end of the day, the Rams will probably end up paying Chris Long more than what Jake Long got but somewhat less than what Matt Ryan received. I do predict that negotiations will probably get "testy" now as Chris Long's agent will try and argue that Jake Long's deal was under market.

I see this being a possible holdout situation or a "last minute" deal signed a week into training camp. My prediction on Chris Long's contract:

5 years, $60million & $32 million guaranteed......

Anyway, that is my guess.....
