Report: Falcons will pick up Matt Schaub’s contract option

For what seems like the 10th consecutive season, the Falcons have a Matt Schaub decision looming. As has been the case for what seems like 10 consecutive seasons, it appears they’ll be bringing the wily veteran backup back.

Schaub will keep one of the most entertaining and unusual careers in Falcons history going. He’s one of the few players who began his career and Atlanta and will likely finish it here, and he’s now thrown passes for Falcons teams over a decade apart, a definite first in franchise history.

The #Falcons are expected to pick up QB Matt Schaub’s $2 million option for 2020, source said.
