Well, it happened. The Atlanta Falcons have traded all-time best quarterback in franchise history Matt Ryan to the Indianapolis Colts, ending his tenure as Atlanta’s franchise face.
It’s a painful reminder of the business side of the industry, sparked after the team tried to sell its soul and failed spectacularly to make a massive trade for now-Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who, again, has 22 civil suits pending regarding allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Now, the Falcons only have 2021 undrafted free agent quarterback Feleipe Franks under contract, who shouldn’t be counted on as a viable starter for the upcoming season.
