Could Colts quarterback Matt Ryan be the next player-turned-broadcaster? It’s a possibility.
The New York Post reported Monday that Ryan is currently weighing his options between suiting up for the last year of his contract and retiring. But Ryan apparently does have an interest in transitioning to broadcasting.
Ryan likely wouldn’t end up on a number one broadcast team. Andrew Marchand wrote in his piece that the former Atlanta Falcon would have to prove himself in order to be worthy of Tom Brady/Tony Romo/Troy Aikman analyst money if one of those roles opened up in the future.
Brady is taking a gap year in 2023 after announcing his retirement and will hop into the top FOX booth in 2024, forcing Greg Olsen to be reassigned.
With Sean Payton leaving FOX as a studio analyst to coach the Broncos, there’s at least one opening on TV for Ryan if he wanted it. But maybe he would be happy initially in the number three or four booth or on FOX NFL Kickoff to just learn the ropes and develop.
