Kyle Pitts twitter seems to indicate he's going there but I don't see/hear anything official.

Football twitter is murmuring about it now as well.

Dont like him going to an NFC team but honestly ATL is a pretty terrible team as a whole.

Yeah they need a head coach IMO. They have an OC masquerading as HC. If I was the owner I would have fired his ass the moment Asshole Face came available and made the change.

I also would have capitalized on teams wanting to "pull a Rams" by trading for a vet signal caller. I'd move Matty to the Colts for a load of picks and move up to take Corral. I love that kid's game and mark my words he's gonna be a player. He's a fucking dog.

Watson would be nice too for them I suppose. But a year of losing in 2022 due to a rookie QB wouldn't be the worst thing for the org, especially if you have a bunch of extra picks from dealing your aging QB. And they need to recognize that coaching is a problem.

Bunch of picks, Deion Jones, and AJ Terrell.

Fuck Deshaun Watson.

Moving Ryan would bring on a 40-50 mill dead cap hit. Yikes

I saw today that they have never signed that extension that would result in all that dead cap. They had just agreed in principle.

SF has got to be kicking themselves trading all those 1st for Lance. If they don’t keep Jimmy… they’re starting a rookie.

I don’t know about Watson in Atlanta. I guess its a good spot for him?

Watson and Pitts ATL could have a fun offense for a while with those 2.

This trade is about to ripple the entire league.

This trade itself could be a ripple from the Rams big trade last year.

It used to be only once every few seasons that you would see even one big QB trade like this. You had one last year (that ended with a Super Bowl win) and now you are going to have two this year.

I feel so sorry for them.

What?? What's that look you're giving me??

You guys are looking at me like I'm not being genuine here. But I totally pinky swear on this ... for realsies and shit.

:devil:

IMO this is the worst of the teams he's considering. They have jack n shit at WR and RB. They have Pitts at TE and nothing else for skill positions, and rumor has it he was going to Houston. Who the hell is he going to throw the ball to?

Agree. The difference here is that Matt Ryan is still a franchise QB who can play and will be sought after. Wherever he goes could push another domino to fall and so on.
