Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will be trying to bring Atlanta their first Lombardi Trophy on Sunday night and he became the franchise’s first winner of the NFL’s most valuable player award on Saturday night.

Ryan was the favorite for the award and his win was announced at the NFL Honors event on the eve of the Super Bowl in Houston on Saturday. Ryan was also named the offensive player of the year during the event.

Ryan had the highest passer rating and yards per attempt in the league during the regular season while also finishing second in both passing yards and passing touchdowns. He set career highs across the board and piloted the league’s highest scoring offense to an NFC South title.

Ryan hasn’t slowed down at all in the postseason and he could add another MVP award on Sunday if he’s able to pick apart New England’s defense in Super Bowl LI. No player has pulled off that double since 2017 Hall of Famer Kurt Warner won MVP for the 1999 season as well as Super Bowl XXXIV.

The NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award could this year be called the Men of the Year Award.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning and Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald are the co-Man of the Year recipients, the league announced tonight.

The Man of the Year Award goes to a player who demonstrates excellence both on and off the field. Manning and Fitzgerald both have a long track record of charity and volunteer work in addition to their professional success.

This is the third time the Man of the Year Award has been split. In 2000 Derrick Brooks and Jim Flanigan shared the award, while in 2006 Drew Brees and LaDainian Tomlinson shared it.

Manning and Fitzgerald entered the league together as the first and third overall picks in the 2004 NFL draft, and now as their careers wind down, they’re continuing to gain recognition together.

Kurt Warner giving his thoughts on Jared Goff *today *10 minutes

He did say Colin Kaepernick was going to be great too....Not that I don't like Kaep...I do...but that's what Kurt said.
He's just too nice of a guy for me to picture as a coach...Maybe the private kind that you pay and they say all the right things to your kid...so you'll come back and pay another $50 for a half hour.

I just wanna know how we're gonna address this:

Steve Smith joins NFL Network

Almost stopped watching the video before the end and should have. Great wide receiver traits including body control, timing the ball, physical, toughness and speed. Intensity may be his best trait but, also could be his worse trait. NFLN has a lot of former players so he should fit in fine. I don't watch the channel or much pregame and post game stuff.

Rating how much each team needs a QB

San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers' plans remain on hold while the team settles on a GM to work with presumptive new coach Kyle Shanahan. Colin Kaepernick is under contract for one more season at $14.5 million if the 49ers elect to buy time. Shanahan's ties to Kirk Cousins provide a fun diversion while Cousins remains without a contract for 2017. Would San Francisco trade draft picks for the right to pay a solid starter at the top of the market when that starter might struggle with a weaker supporting cast?

Colin Kaepernick to opt out of deal and become free agent in March

When new coach Kyle Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch begun the reconstruction of the 49ers, one of their first moves will be to find a quarterback.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, 49ers starter Colin Kaepernick is opting out of his deal and will become an unrestricted free agent. According to Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News, he can’t officially make the move until March 2, but the new management structure won’t change his decision.

Kaepernick and the 49ers restructured his contract last fall, clearing the way for him to resume starting in place of Blaine Gabbert.

In the deal, Kaepernick gave up the $14.5 million in injury guarantees in exchange for a shot at the open market sooner. His original deal was set to run through 2020, and it’s hard to know if Shanahan and/or Lynch would even be interested in him.

But there ought to be a market for him, as he played reasonably well on a poor team, with 16 touchdowns and just four interceptions in 12 games.
