Matt Ryan signs $72 million contract with Falcons, $34 million guaranteed

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/05/20/atlanta-falcons-sign-matt-ryan/

Former Boston College QB Matt Ryan just became the richest rookie in the history of the NFL, as he signed a 6 year deal worth up to $72 million with all incentives reached, but $34 million is guaranteed! I can't believe that these rookies get so much money when they haven't done anything in the league yet. I guess that's why the owners are opting out of the collective bargaining agreement, because they're tired of paying so much money for unproven players.
