Last weekend, the Falcons told quarterback Matt Ryan that they were looking to trade for Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, per ESPN. It was reported on Tuesday by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Falcons had joined the Browns, Panthers and Saints in pursuit of Watson.
Ryan has spent his entire 14 year career in Atlanta, but the team is looking to make a big move. According to ESPN’s Dianna Russini, the quarterback has interest in Atlanta, and has reportedly personally reached out to the team. Schefter said that Falcons owner Arthur Blank developed a relationship with Watson when the quarterback was the team’s ballboy while he was playing at Gainesville High in Gainesville, Ga.
