Matt Ryan: 'Pretty Good Chance' I'd Still Be on Falcons If ATL Hadn't Pursued Watson

The ripple effects of the Deshaun Watson trade negotiations have had a profound impact on multiple quarterbacks this offseason.

Appearing on The Ryen Russillo Podcast (h/t Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk), Matt Ryan said there's a "pretty good chance" he would still be with the Atlanta Falcons if they hadn't pursued a trade for Watson.

"When free agency starts to pick up and they start to look into what they want to do, I kind of got filled into the loop that they were going to look into Deshaun Watson," he added.
