- Matt Ryan’s stint in Atlanta came to an unexpected end on Monday, when the Falcons traded him for a third-round selection. Atlanta acquiring just a third-round selection in exchange for a $40 million dead cap charge, downgrading a quarterback, and failing to acquire the Colts’ top third-round choice further adds to the difficulty of swallowing this transaction.
