An Atlanta Falcons off-season that should have been straightforward has gone sideways in true Falcons fashion. Despite having a quarterback already they had failed to support, Atlanta opted to enter the Deshaun Watson chase and possibly alienate Matt Ryan.

The same Matt Ryan that stood by the franchise as they allowed him to take a league-leading amount of hits last season on the heels of spending season after season without a defense and the team relying on Ryan to make it happen.
