The Matt Ryan era in Atlanta came to an abrupt end on Monday when the Falcons dealt the former franchise quarterback for a third-round pick. Atlanta receiving only a third-round pick to take a $40-million dollar dead cap hit, a downgrade a quarterback, and not even receive the Colts’ best third-round pick makes this move even harder to swallow.

No matter how the era ended it wasn’t going to be easy to part ways with Ryan. Now with Marcus Mariota the temporary answer Atlanta has put Ryan in a better position to win now.

All that is left on Ryan’s resume is to win a Super Bowl, something Atlanta is yet to do as a franchise. Winning a Super Bowl with the Colts should cement Ryan’s legacy as a great quarterback one who deserves to be in Hall.
