I’m curious if the Colts do complete the Ryan trade - if they give him the new 3 year contract he has requested

I bet they do.

Might include a player like Willis or Blackmon and we sign Matthieu.

I doubt it. We're really thin at safety

I’m fine with Ryan, as long as we don’t overpay. There’s still some gas left in the tank, and we’ll still have reasonable flexibility to go out and make a long-term move.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If this is true I am down for that.

That’s what Ballard gets paid for.  He’s always said a trade has to be a win win for both sides.

That's not bad if we can get 2 years of competitive play out of him while drafting a future starter.  I'll take it!

Rapoport also reported that Mayfield does not appear to be part of the Colts plan even if they do not do a deal with Ryan.

2009 disagree 

2011 also if not for that foolish timeout by Caldwell against the Jets.

Will the Colts be picking up all of Ryan's massive contract?

But then we get to the core of the "problem vs. solution'' question: Is employing a "league-average quarterback'' with two years remaining on his contract ($48.6 million in 2022 and $43.6 million in 2023) good enough?

They should give him the new deal he was looking for.  More cap space.

Based on only giving up a 3rd, I'm assuming we are.

Yep.  Make the 3rd basically a team option with minimal cap hit if cut.  Should grab a QB this year or next and let them sit for 1 or 2 seasons if needed.

 

Just knowing who the QB is is honestly a huge sigh of relief, haha.

I hope not. Don’t want him on the books that long. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Holy cow that’s a steel. We got more for Wentz then they got for Ryan.

[Shive]

I'm going to leave this thread open for any other FA speculation, but please use this thread for any further discussion of the trade for Matt Ryan:

 

[shasta519]

I’m a Matty Ice fan. Still hope they draft a guy, preferably one this year.

 

But Ryan was not better last year than Rivers was in 2019 (the year before he came here). And he's a few years removed from being a PB caliber QB.

 

I think he probably is a lateral move, but I definitely prefer him to Wentz. So I am stoked.

I was obviously for acquiring Baker because I thought it’d cost a ton to acquire and older Matt Ryan.

 

Cant say I hate this deal, hopefully he comes in and balls out.

Yes, for that contract, that is the most I wanted to give. Maybe we restructure the contract or maybe we don't. That would be a WIN-WIN trade for both. Falcons fans will be ticked off, I am 100% sure, given how many high draft picks were being thrown around for marquee QBs.

[Architects08]

What kind of cap space do we have left? I think LT is priority 1 right?

It only 16 million.

Interesting. Ill be curious how we address some of these other holes.

Same thing i was thinking. I think it will likely happen. Thats enough time to groom a young guy
