ESPN: Falcons plan to keep Matt Ryan in 2022
“THEN HE TURNED HIMSELF INTO A PICKLE. FUNNIEST THING I’VE EVER SEEN.”Matt Ryan’s future has been cloudy since it became clear the 2020 season was not going to be a bounce-back year. 2020 turned into a “prove it” season for Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff. Both were fired. The Falcons had a high draft pick and a new head coach and general manager with no connection to Ryan.
Would the duo decide to move on from Ryan? Atlanta restructured Ryan’s deal and passed on available rookie quarterbacks. At the same time, restructuring Ryan’s deal was almost a necessity, and many believed the Falcons wanted to grab Trey Lance (who went one spot ahead of Atlanta’s draft pick).
