Falcons restructure Matt Ryan's contract

Their cap situation has always been worse than the raw number because they have so few people in the number (41 per Spotrac).  They have about $6M in cap space but need 10 more players.  While the top 51 evens that out, it can't when you have less than 51 signed.

It will not age well next year, either.  Next year they have 21 accounting for a cap number only $21 million below the projected cap of $209M

Even now, Ryan's contract is NEVER a bargain to unload.  His cap hit finally overtakes his potential dead cap in 2022, but even then his dead cap is over $40M.

I dont think Denver goes qb.  I also think SF and NE are way too far back to move to 2,3, 4.  Aint no way the last 3 have the ammo to go up that high

Denver has been in talks for many QBs and wanted Fitz also. Lock still acts like a rookie. I heard he puts in no film or lift time. They have soured on him, no matter the fluff. SF is 12th with future picks. NE could do the same about trading future 1s/2s. Bill always has comps and is used to drafting late. Loins and Philly could trade up for a QB too. Goff and hurts are not good enough not to stay put if you love Wilson Fields etc.

Dude Goff is there for 2 years due to his contract and philly is rolling with hurts.  How many firsts would it take SF or NE to move to 2,3,4?  I just dont think they have enough.  We stay at 8 and might have our choice of the next 3 depending if the Jets stay with Darnold.  If nothing else Lance will 100% be there at 8 if thats our guy.

I dont know Loins or Phillys plan, just believe neither Goff or Hurts are good enough to pass on Wilson/Lance/etc. Just like when the panthers took Cam with Jimmy was last years first pick, Cards took Murray with 10th overall Rosen last yr.  3 firsts is the going rate I believe for either SF or NE. SF could flip Jimmy for a pick too. Offset some of the cost. It could a QB musical chairs type of effect. Cam only had 3.5 million in guarantees, they could cut him or its a great spot for a rookie QB. 

Teams could trade for Beaguals pick, Lions pick, Phillys pick too. Its doesnt have to be #4, just before the panthers #8.

So the QB draft freakout crew can officially chill now.  I personally thought the possibility of the Falcons drafting a QB in the top 5 was less than 10%.  Again, we don't have to worry about he teams ahead of us, rather the teams behind us.  Ryan is still relatively young, not injury prone and actually puts up decent numbers every year.  It would be stupid for the Falcons to kick him to the curb.  Cap relief?  Sure and they got him to restructure to help with that.

Trading out...but QB still going there

People keep saying this but I dont see it.  Where are they going and what are they getting?  At their position they have their choice of the top talent at every position on defense.  Something they need.  You think they are going to drop back to the teens?

They could use the extra picks and the defenders will drop.  Agree they need defense but also need RB and OL.

Well obviously QB needy teams like us, WFT, Lions there are ton out there.  

The Lions could potentially draft a QB, but I don't know that I'd call them QB hungry.

There are others though...

    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
    • Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
