The Atlanta Falcons have named former longtime quarterback Matt Ryan to the newly created role of president of football.

Longtime CBS sportscaster Greg Gumbel has died from cancer.

Matt Ryan, who retired last week after 15 years in the NFL, will join CBS Sports as a studio analyst on “The NFL Today” and Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason will leave after long runs on the show.

CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus has known for over a year when he planned to retire and who would be his successor.
