The Atlanta Falcons have named its new starting quarterback – at least for now. Head coach Arthur Smith said that the team intends to start Desmond Ridder in 2023. “That’s our plan going forward right now,” he said. The early move might come as a surprise to some, as the Falcons signed former Washington Redskins starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke. However, the Falcons appear to have confidence in its 2022 third-round pick. In four games last year, Ridder tossed for more than 700 yards with two touchdown passes, while maintaining a completion percentage of 63.5%. For the most part, he served ...

Star wide receiver Julio Jones signed a one-year deal worth at least $6 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, bolstering one of the best offenses in the NFL ahead of the 2022 season. The longtime Atlanta Falcon signed with the Titans last year and struggled, but said he was completely healthy and ready for the season in a press conference following the announcement. With Tom Brady under center, Tampa Bay has enjoyed a crowded room of wide receivers for several seasons now, of which Jones is the most recent addition. The seven-time Pro Bowler joins Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and for...

In an offseason that has already seen numerous quarterback changes, the Indianapolis Colts are now in on the carousel: They’ve traded a third-round pick for Matt Ryan after they sent Carson Wentz packing a few weeks ago to Washington. The Falcons, in turn, have signed Marcus Mariota as Ryan’s successor. The 2016 NFL MVP was drafted third overall by the Falcons in 2008 and had spent the entirety of his career in the A-T-L. In 222 games, Ryan, 36, has thrown for nearly 60,000 passing yards and 367 TDs. The 2016 ended, of course, with Atlanta’s infamous 28-3 collapse in the Super Bowl to Tom Brad...

With the grand jury opting to not indict the quarterback on allegations of sexual misconduct, soon-to-be-former Houston Texan Deshaun Watson is expected to decide on his new team soon. Watson, who sat out last season due to the allegations, is eager to find a new NFL home but it will not be in Cleveland or Carolina, as he has ixnayed those two possibilities. TheBrowns may have shot themselves in the foot, as their meeting with Watson irked their current QB, Baker Mayfield, who has since requested a trade—a trade the team denied. He’s due a fully guaranteed $18.5 million in 2022. Barring a myst...

As one normally does after getting suspended for a year from their job with their career in jeopardy, Calvin Ridley took to the bird app to plead his case. Word came down Monday afternoon that the Falcons wide receiver had been suspended by the NFL for a year for betting on games—even though he was injured and didn’t participate. But, rules are rules. About an hour later he was tweeting through it. In a case of either coincidence or a terrific sense of humor, this was Ridley’s last tweet before the news became public, “I learn from my Ls”: After the news broke, he tried to plead his case: “I b...

Set to enter his 15th NFL season, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is about to set a record. Sure, he’s moving up the all-time passing yardage ranks—he’s on the verge of entering the top five in NFL history—but the signal-caller’s salary is what is about to make league history. Ryan is set to have a salary cap hit of $48,662,500—the largest for an NFL player in league history. “Matty Ice’s” cap number balloons from $26,912,500 to $48,662,500 from 2021 to 2022, the fourth year of the five-year, $150 million contract extension he signed in 2018.

The Atlanta Falcons have released veteran linebacker Dante Fowler Jr., who was set to hit free agency as the final year of his contract was converted into a void year. The 27-year-old edge rusher initially signed a three-year deal with the Falcons in 2020 but agreed to take a pay cut last year in exchange for a chance to earn more in incentives—none of which he hit—as well as add the void year. He appeared in 14 games, six starts, and finished with just 4.5 sacks. His sack total led the Falcons, who finished dead last in the NFL with only 18 sacks. Throughout his time in Atlanta, Fowler played...

It’s not easy to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but if anyone knows how to do it, it’s the Atlanta Falcons. Ever since they blew 25 point lead against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, the team has been labeled as chokers, and rightfully so. This past week, some heart-wrenching details came out about the game, from former Patriots corner Malcolm Butler. During a recent interview with 12 News in Phoenix, Butler was asked if he had talked to new teammate Robert Alford at all about the Super Bowl comeback and not only have the two talked about it, but Alford apparently told But...

The Falcons backup quarterback A.J. McCarron suffered a season-ending ACL injury last Saturday against the Dolphins. After handing the ball off to running back Qadree Ollison, McCarron clutched his knee and began hobbling off the field. Before reaching the sidelines, he was met by doctors and trainers who examined him in the blue tent before being sent to the locker room. “I really feel for AJ McCarron,” the Falcons head coach, Arthur Smith, said. “Any time something like that happens and it’s non-contact, it’s tough when you know what these guys put into it. I feel for AJ. We’ll obviously get...
