Colts Release Matt Ryan
2 years agoThe Indianapolis Colts released quarterback Matt Ryan on Tuesday, according to a source. The Colts moved on from Ryan well before releasing him on Tuesday, as he was benched midway through his first and only season with the team. It wasn't all the 37-year-old's fault, but he didn't exactly play very well, either. In 12 starts for the team, he completed 67 percent of his passes for 3,057 yards, 14 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. The Colts' offensive line did him no favors, and Ryan had virtually zero chance to succeed with hardly many clean pockets to throw from. The move to cut him will save the Colts over $17 million on the 2023 salary cap. The four-time Pro Bowler will look for work elsewhere if he wants to continue his playing career, but Ryan looked pretty washed up in 2022.
