Report: Matt Ryan would not continue working for CBS as Falcons president

Our Summary

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is set to interview for the position of the team's president of football operations later this week. Ryan, who also works as an analyst on CBS' pregame show, would relinquish his TV role if he is hired by the Falcons, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. The decision aligns with the extensive responsibilities outlined by the Falcons for the president role, which would likely conflict with maintaining a dual occupation. While other figures in the NFL, such as Tom Brady and Troy Aikman, have managed dual roles, Ryan appears to be opting for a singular focus. The Falcons must still comply with the Rooney Rule before finalizing any appointment, but indications suggest Ryan is the leading candidate for the position.
