The Indianapolis Colts acquired the services of quarterback Matt Ryan after trading with the Atlanta Falcons, according to information provided by the team through social networks.
In the move that made a strong impact on the NFL heading into the 2022-23 season, Atlanta is given a third-round pick for the 2022 draft.
In this way, the Indianapolis team acquires the 36-year veteran, who still has two years left from the deal he signed in 2018 for five years and $150 million dollars.
Ryan doesn’t show the level that led him to win the league’s MVP award in 2016, but he’s still a player capable of making a difference in the offense of a Colts that last season finished in second place in the AFC South Division, with a record of 9 wins and 8 losses.
After 14 seasons in the NFL with the Falcons, Matt Ryan records 65.5% of complete passes for a total of 59,735 yards, with 367 touchdown passes and 170 interceptions.
Falcons Sign Marcus Mariota after Trading Matt Ryan
The Atlanta Falcons didn’t sit idly by after letting their legendary quarterback go to the Indianapolis Colts, and immediately signed free agent Marcus Mariota to a two-year contract.
With this transaction, the Atlanta team ensures that it has a proven quarterback in the NFL, although it is important to remember that he has played very little in the NFL since his time as a starter with the Tennessee Titans in the 2018 season.
Mariota is coming off the Las Vegas Raiders over the past two seasons, where he totaled just 18 completed passes on 30 attempts, for a total of 230 yards, with one touchdown pass.
