Deadline Day For Falcons, Matt Ryan
3 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons fielded trade calls the last few days centered around quarterback Matt Ryan, according to sources. Monday is the deadline to make a decision, as Ryan will earn a $7.5 million roster bonus from the team if he's on the roster at 4 pm ET. Ryan will either be traded or return to the Falcons. Atlanta was hoping they could land Deshaun Watson, but he chose the Cleveland Browns instead. The Indianapolis Colts have been mentioned as a fit for Ryan, who is now 36 years and trending down as a potential QB1 for fantasy. The Falcons could still trade Ryan after he's paid the bonus, but he'd leave behind even more dead money.
