FALCONS QUARTERBACK MATT RYAN HAS BEEN TRADED TO THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS FOR A THIRD ROUND PICK. WGUR’S BEN PETERS TELLS US MORE:

IN THE PICKUP OF A LIFETIME, THE COLTS HAVE ACQUIRED FOUR-TIME PRO BOWL QB MATT RYAN, IN AN EXCHANGE THAT HAS FALCONS FANS IN DISBELIEF.

AS OF NOW, THE ONLY THING FALCONS WILL RECEIVE FOR RYAN IS A THIRD-ROUND PICK IN THE 2022 NFL DRAFT NEXT MONTH.

ARTHUR BLANK, OWNER OF THE FALCONS HINTED AT RYAN’S POSSIBLE DEPARTURE BACK IN FEBRUARY SAYING “AT SOME POINT, THERE WILL BE A SUNSET FOR HIM.”

AT THAT POINT, NO ONE KNEW WHEN THAT SUNSET WOULD BE, BUT AS TRADES WENT OUT THIS WEEK, IT WAS SOONER THAN EXPECTED.

RYAN WAS WITH THE FALCONS FOR 14-YEARS, WHERE HE SHATTERED EVERY MAJOR PASSING RECORD IN FRANCHISE HISTORY.
