A part of the ongoing saga surrounding the trade for Texans quarterback, Deshaun Watson is what the Falcons will do with Matt Ryan. Of course, if a trade were to happen and Watson were to land in Atlanta, then this means Ryan’s 14-year run as the starting QB is over.
While it was reported that a restructured deal had been agreed to, it has yet to be finalized and could be off the table if need be. Where things stand today, Ryan has a $40.5 million cap hit, but his roster bonus of $7.5 million will kick in tomorrow, making his cap hit for 2022 $48 million.
Cap charge if the Falcons trade Matt Ryan today: $40.525 million.
Cap charge if the Falcons trade Matt Ryan after today and before June 1: $48.025 million.— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) March 17, 2022
