Ranking the 17 most likely QBs to start for the Atlanta Falcons in 2023
Ryan Tannehill. 3. player. 35. . .
3. Ryan Tannehill – Tennessee Titans (Free agency)
Ryan Tannehill is not a free agent… yet. The Titans will almost undoubtedly cut him as they look in a different direction. When that happens, the Atlanta Falcons instantly become a clear landing spot.
I am probably as against this as most of you, but Arthur Smith is the reason that Tannehill is still in the league. He was able to turn him into a quarterback that ended Tom Brady’s career in New England. Needless to say, it isn’t hard to imagine Smith bringing Tannehill to Atlanta. He knows how to get the most out of him, and on the flip side, Ryan knows the offense.
It would be okay for him to come in as a backup, but hopefully, nothing more, as he wouldn’t turn this team into a contender.
Lamar Jackson. 2. player. 26. . .
2. Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens (Free agency)
The crowned jewel of the upcoming free agency class. From the Ravens’ point of view, right now, they are going to sign Lamar Jackson to a mega deal but it isn’t like they can sign Lamar’s name for him. Lamar needs to agree to the deal and has seemingly already had enough with the organization that drafted him. The last time we heard from him, he was trying to say ‘I’m done with the Ravens’ without saying ‘I’m done with the Ravens.’
This is why I think there is a strong possibility that he ends up with the Falcons. Not often do you get to sign a former MVP to your team but Atlanta might have the chance to.
There are risks though, like how much money would they have to pay him? Does he really improve the passing attack? And can he stay healthy?
