Falcons burned a bridge. Are trying to trade Matty Water.

My understanding is, Ryan was willing to delay the restructuring of his contract until Tuesday to give the Falcons time to trade him. The Falcons obviously thought they had Watson in the bag when they made that deal.

Once the Watson deal fell through, Ryan asked for the trade OR a new 3-year deal. Either way, it has to happen today. 

Ryan gets the last laugh.

Lol so he asked for the moon or the sun? No one wants to trade anything worthwhile for him and lol on a new 3 year deal when he is barely holding on now.

PFT suggests that Matty agreed to extend the contract bonus deadline IF the Falcons tried to trade him--I am not sure that makes sense, because they don't have to try hard.  Still, I have to think that the Colts might be interested OR they simply would like to get out of a $50m deal.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
