Former Atlanta Falcons and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan signed a deal to become a broadcaster for CBS Sports for this upcoming football season, but he is not shutting the door on playing again, and he detailed what it would take for him to return to playing in an interview with Bruce Murray and Rich Gannon on SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“You know, I don't know,” Matt Ryan said on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “This situation, all the stars would have to [align]. I've just learned, in the 15 years I've played, to just not shut any doors. That's really the decision behind that. Like I said I'm excited to kinda take this next step and to move forward, but at the same time you never know what's going to happen in this league, like I said anything can shake out, so we'll see what happens.”
