Matt Ryan explains why he hasn't retired from NFL despite signing TV deal

When Matt Ryan was unveiled as CBS' latest acquisition, it appeared the curtain had been drawn on a fine 15-year NFL career, but the 2016 MVP was quick to insist he had not yet retired.

"This is not a retirement post," he wrote on Twitter, raising a question: Why jump into broadcasting if you still want to play?

The answer is Ryan would be open-minded to prolonging his NFL career, but only in an ideal situation with "all the stars" aligned, and it is hard to blame him after spending last season with the 4-12 Indianapolis Colts, taking a beating in the backfield before he lost the starting job less than two months into the campaign.
