The Colts are reportedly planning to release quarterback Matt Ryan when the new league year begins Wednesday, according to Zach Klein of WSB-TV in Atlanta.
The 37-year-old is due to make over $19 million next season in what is the final year of a five-year, $150 million contract he signed with the Falcons back in 2018.
Per Spotrac, Colts will incur an $18 million dead cap hit, but they are effectively saving $17.2 million against the cap by moving on from Ryan, who carried a $35.2 million cap hit in 2023.
