Matt Ryan Joins CBS Sports as NFL Analyst, Denies Retirement

Former NFL quarterback Matt Ryan has joined CBS Sports as a studio and game analyst, following his release from the Indianapolis Colts in March. Ryan, who spent 14 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, ranks seventh in yards passing and ninth in touchdown passes in NFL history. He will bring recent experience and knowledge of the game to the broadcast booth, and will likely ease into his new role without the pressure of being on a No. 1 broadcasting team. Ryan's connection to Atlanta remains strong, and he is expected to be placed in the Falcons' Ring of Honor and offered a permanent role in the organization.
