Despite trade rumors circulating, quarterback Matt Ryan and wide receiver Julio Jones are expected to remain with the Falcons in 2021, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday.
"The Falcons have not had trade conversations with any other team about Ryan or their star wide receiver Julio Jones," Pelissero said. "Every expectation is that both players are going to be on the roster in 2021."
He continued, saying that it's expected that Falcons' new coach Arthur Smith will run a similar offense as when Ryan won the NFL MVP award in 2016 under then-offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
