FalconsIn2012 35,302 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 These are laughable at best. A 2nd and 6th in 2022 for Ryan ...lolol None of the three deals involve a 1st round pick My personal favorite is Ryan to the Colts for a 4th and 5th Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boise Falcon Fan 3,808 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I don't think Ryan is going anywhere, but if he does, a 1st will be included in the deal. If the Falcons want to trade MR, there is a market for him. San Francisco, Patriots, Colts, etc. could all be possible trade partners.

We won't have 41 million off our cap. We'll actually have something like $3 million added to the cap pre June 1, and about $23 million in cap savings but huge dead cap hits over 2 years post June 1.

We probably still have to go this route. I see everybody saying cut Rico, and a lot of other players. They may not be stars, but they're role players. Of we cut them, we will have to find their replacements, and depth. If we can deal Matt and Julio, we have to make those business decisions. We also have to factor in the cap reduction.

You can't trade the dead cap from the signing bonus and guaranteed money. You can trade the base salary per year. So they make some sense, but not a lot. A trade next season is imminently do-able, and the season after that it would be easy. Geneaut 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can trade Rico, but we don't have to. There are lots of options. If we cut enough cap room we can replace key players in FA. And there is a LOT of dead weight on this team right now.

We also have to factor in the cap reduction. It’s not hard to find a cheaper replacement for Rico. Finding a QB isn’t as easy, ask teams who struggled for decades to find a franchise QB. If Falcons think they have replacement at QB, go for it. I rather cut role players who can be replaced in draft or cheaper in FA.

It's doable this year as well, we just wouldn't be able to use that money. The picks we would get this year though would likely be better than next. It also frees up a ton of cap for next year and future cap space is almost as good as cap space this year. It allows us the flexibility to at least have the option to move money around from this year to next. Atl Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree it frees up a ton of cap for next year though. The only way it works this season at all is post June 1 and doing that, the 2nd half of the pro-rated bonus still hits the cap next season. wuskillzz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malachore 9,101 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 An expensive, aging QB with a dwindling arm that's hearing footsteps isn't very valuable to other teams. jetpac 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All starting QBs are valuable and he wouldn't be that expensive to another team. 23, 20 and 16 mil over the next three seasons since we would eat all the guarantees. That is easily a bargain considering the Colts just paid Rivers 25 million Farmer2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knight of God 52,814 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Trade Matt for a second in next years draft. Draft a QB 4th overall. Rookie QB busts or is injured. Then what?

Replace Garoppolo with Ryan on that team the past few years and they're easily in or winning another super bowl if for no other reason that Ryan can actually stay on the field.

Dwindling arm? Where do you guys get this stuff? I watched him throw 55 yards in the air this year (at least twice in the last 3 or 4 games). Accuracy and decision-making I could agree with, but arm strength? Come on, man. Let's not reach. His decision-making is what is baffling. But as bad as we've sucked, maybe he wouldn't be doing that if we had a defense that didn't require a 5 score lead in the last 2 quarters to preserve a win.

I've actually read some reports out of Frisco a few months back that said Shanny would be open to trade that pick for Ryan....Of course...they are just reports...but also said Shanny is getting frustrated...and that Ryan has been the only one that has been able to run his offense the way that he likes....
