After Former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan was reportedly unhappy about the Falcons being in the Deshuan Watson sweepstakes the Falcons and Ryan were looking to move into different directions, the 37 year old quarterback heading into his 15th year as the Falcons QB was looking reportedly becoming more and more unhappy with the teams overall performance and record since the 2016 super bowl year.
After last offseason star wideout and longtime Falcon Julio Jones was unhappy in the team’s direction Julio was traded and now looks like it’s Matt Ryan’s turn.
The 37 year old will now be playing quarterback under Frank Riech and the Indianapolis Colts which should be a significant upgrade from the Falcons these last few years. With the Colts having much better players and management in the organization it wouldn’t be a surprise for Ryan to find a potential landing spot for the rest of his career.
After trading Carson Wentz a couple weeks ago it wasn’t a secret the Colts were in the Quarterback market once again, with getting multiple 2nd and 3rd picks from the Carson Wentz trade the Colts flipped one of those 3rd round picks for Ryan.
Marcus Mariota will now be the replacement for Matt Ryan as the quarterback for the Falcons under head coach Arthur Smith. With Mariota signing a 2 year deal with the Falcons he looks to resurrect his career after having a failed start in Tennessee and having a brief stint with the Raiders these last couple seasons.
It was no surprise that Mariota would be the next Falcons QB as he’s already worked with now Head Coach Arthur Smith who Mariota’s already worked with Smith as the Offensive Coordinator in Tennessee.
