These days it seems a new quarterback is involved in another major trade. On Monday, longtime Atlanta Falcons franchise quarterback Matt Ryan was dealt to the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts will now be utilizing the services of a third different veteran quarterback acquired via trade in as many years.
So how does this impact the Seattle Seahawks? For starters, it eliminates the possibility – however slim – of the Seahawks trading for Ryan themselves. Ryan may soon be 37 and his career is starting to wane, but he is still more than capable of being a higher-end starter for a new team.
More importantly, Ryan going to Indianapolis means another quarterback will not: Baker Mayfield.
