Indianapolis Colts Have a Long Term Plan For Matt Ryan

Tom Brady has changed the game.

At some point aging QB’s aren’t all that invaluable these days, in fact it’s quite the opposite. If you can play into your late 30’s, there’s no stopping you from playing for years to come. The Colts have a plan for a 36 year old Matt Ryan, who still has two years remaining on his contract.

According to Colts owner Jim Irsay, the plan is to have Matt Ryan as their QB for the next four years.

Irsay would like Ryan in a Colts uniform past his current deal, which would make him the QB of the team when he’ll be 40 years old.

Via ESPN:

“Matt is different than Philip, this is definitely different than that,” Irsay said. “It’s not drafting Andrew Luck, but it’s different than Philip. We knew Philip was going to be a one-year sort of thing and we view this as very possibly a three-year thing. Who knows. It’s hard to put a number on it.”

“We hope Matt can be here for four years, maybe,” Irsay said. “We certainly have our radar out for a young guy that can be the long-term future.”

The game has definitely changed, but Tom Brady is the exception to the rule.

Most humans get progressively worse as they get older.

We’ll see how long Matt Ryan sticks it out in Indy, I’ll take the under on four years.
