Matt Ryan To Patriots? Speculation

[Falcons2020]

Hey guys, I don’t know much about the source, but thought I’d share. Ryan still is a very capable, top 10 QB. Would be a great move for y’all IMO

Dan Sileo is a complete idiot.

This thread should be labeled as speculation.

Welcome to the forum.

It seems the source is speculating but Ryan is intriguing, I suppose.

Seems a bit old/rich for my taste and my preference would be Garappolo, but Ryan is a darn good QB, much like Stafford.

I'm not a big Matt Ryan fan but we're in no position to turn our noses up at quarterbacks who have regularly played at a top 10 level, anyone who can turn the Pats into a winning team in the short term has to be considered.

To follow up on my previous post I just wanted to provide some context. Apparently he called a few potential free agents that were allegedly going to sign with the Bucs “monkeys”. He said something about Erin Andrews being a bimbo and being lucky she was filmed naked against her knowledge. He offered a bounty for someone to hurt an FSU player. He’s been fired from multiple radio stations. Now he mainly posts random nonsense on Twitter pretending he has inside knowledge when he is really just flinging crap against the wall.

Change the title, I thought he was somehow acquired.

NO THANKS

I hope not... I wouldn't wish bad luck on any team.

LOL she owned him. What a clown

The cap hit for the Falcons to trade Matt Ryan is over $44mil. Not happening

 

[ctpatsfan77]

He'll be 36 when next season starts. If the Pats are going to go with a medium-term starter solution (3-5 years), I'd prefer they go a bit younger.

It's over $41M even if they don't. . . .

Trading Matt Ryan results in Atlanta increasing their cap by $3.5 million - which is already $36 million underwater - while taking on $44 million of dead cap money.

Yes, the Falcons could trade him after June 1 with different cap numbers - but is that what any team wants as their plan, to wait until after the draft and after free agency is essentially over?


This trade speculation makes no sense.

This trade speculation makes no sense.

A Ryan trade with a post 6/1 designation would distribute the dead money hit over the next two years and save them 23m for next year.

If your done with a player, keeping him (and playing him at QB) for cap reasons makes no sense. Which is probably why they’ll keep him...

(Better keep your GFs away from that guy - a charmer like that !)

can you edit the title on this?! Thanks ....time will tell on rest of the story

 

[DarrylS]

Not at all sold on Matt Ryan, he has always had quite a few "weapons" and from my view he is a middle of the road QB...

 

[Simpelton]

Ryan is basically a younger version of Drew Bledsoe. you can win with a guy like that but the high rolling nature of his style will lead to unnecessary defeats as well.

He's as good as most of the other veteran options out there at the moment, because let's not pretend that ANY of them don't have their flaws.

Ryan and Stafford are essentially a wash at this point IMHO. No matter which one we brought in it would basically be the same thing and I could stand either one.
