Back in March, it was reported that then-Falcons Matt Ryan had restructured his contract and would be staying in Atlanta for at least one more season. However, things quickly changed once the team made the controversial decision to go after Deshaun Watson.

Despite lingering sexual misconduct allegations, the Falcons went all in on their pursuit of the former Texans QB, even reportedly offering up keys to the city during their courting process.
