Matt Ryan never expected to be traded this offseason, but when circumstances changed, he knew he wanted to go to Indianapolis.
The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback talked about his departure from Atlanta with Peter King of NBC Sports.
"It became clear when Deshaun did not come, it was on me to let them know that I wanted to seek other options," Ryan said. "I told [owner] Arthur Blank that and he was great about it. The first one I wanted to explore was Indianapolis. I think the mindset really changed after the meeting that I had with Chris Ballard and Frank Reich.
