Great PR move by the Falcons to have the press conference and get the questions out the way. I’m happy for Matt and wish him nothing but the best. They wanted to do right by him so I guess a 3rd is good now!

DJ CRUWCIAL

Arthur smith is cut-throat and straight to the point 😂😂

    Stanley Ezen

    Always haha

    DrGanja99

    Which I appreciate

    Nathan Price

    Good rather than someone like joe judge

Gary Turbo

They need to hold open tryouts to get some good players

Jake Stevens

I love the Atlanta Falcons so much. One thing that drives me crazy though, is how this new regime keeps me/us in the dark. Drives me nuts. It’s like I never know what’s going on. Where they are going l. Idk man. I trust them though.

    Matt Hurt

    Yeah cause everything needs to be public

    guero christopher maldonado

    Yea cause TD and DQ were always so informative

    TheSteveg2011

    It’s because they are in the dark until next season when the cap opens up. They don’t know what they will be able to accomplish. They just throwing darts right now.

    Rex

    That’s how it should be

    EdgyBrah

    Why do you trust them ? They traded julio and matt for not even a half bag of chips. They have no idea what they are doing…if they did they would have drafted justin fields

Woo_wee

THANK YOU MATT, WE WAS BLESSED AS AN ORGANIZATION TO HAVE HAD YOUR SERVICES FOR 14 YEARS, I LOVED MATT AS OUR QB, BUT NFL HAS CHANGED, DEFENSES PLAYERS FASTER, DEFENSIVE SCHEMES AND COACHES ATTACK YOUR WEAKNESS WHEN PLAYOFFS COMES AROUND, LOOK AT JOSH ALLEN THEIR ISNT A SCHEME AT THIS MOMENT THAT NFL COACHES CAN THROW AT HIM CAUSE HE IS MOBILE ENOUGH TO ELUDE A DEAD PLAY AND CREATE A MIRACLE OUT OF A BUSTED PLAY, MATT AT HIS TIME IN HIS CAREER HE CAN NOT DO THIS, THAT’S OUR NFL AT MOMENT. THANK YOU, SO CHANGE WAS NEEDED.

    Did the current front office staff write this? It’s not even coherent.

King 7

These guys are doing an awesome job especially having to clean up TD mess Terry I believe is the one wanting to deal with Matt contract an get him gone. To have a future with this team we can not keep pushing Matt contract down the road that will hurt our future he taking it on the chin now to have a future an this is great an like he said he wanted to deal with it last year but because our team is screwed when it came to the cap space last year so we had to keep him another year.

    Qadan

    Man don’t try to get these ignorant non business minded having emotional player loving fans to understand anything. We just need to support the team and let them move to Indy and buy a #2 jersey.

    DougieHendo

    100%. We weren’t going anywhere with Matt this year and he’ll only regress from here. If we wanted to have some semblance of a team in 2023 we had to get that contract off the books. TD put us here. Next year we’ll be rich aF and this year’s draft haul should be a little seasoned. To me, this regime’s report card begins next offseason.

Brandon Patton

Everyone mad at TF and AS like TD and DQ didn’t put us in this hole with all them bad contracts. We haven’t been completing at a high level since 2017 but yet guys cashed out. New era, buckle up or get off the bus!!!

    Joel Purnell

    Terry was part of New Orleans cap hell for at least 3 of Drew Brees last 5 yrs. So we trust he will fix things and make great draft decisions?

    Drew Paul Bell

    And you’ll never see TF and AS making excuses or complaining about what they inherited. These guys are better than what anyone realizes yet.

    Brandon Patton

    @Drew Paul Bell another GREAT point. Not once, problem solvers.

    Brandon Patton

    @Joel Purnell he was able to work it out. I got faith in him and AS.

    Helluvatime

    I`ve been a Falcons fan for a long time and will stay buckled up and ride the bus straight into the ditch with you. On the bright side lets get hyped for that 2023 #1 overall draft pick. Bring Bryce Young to the ATL!!!!

    Having 5 picks in the first 3 rounds is huge.

    Willie Price

    @DougieHendo very

    Slatt Life

    Let’s go build around Marcus rn we will try qb next yr 2 dE RB and WR

Alex Kennedy

Thanks Matt for all the memories. Seems like yesterday when you throw your first shot as a Falcon to Michael Jenkins for a touchdown. God bless you and your family. Wish you the best, no doubt hall of fame is coming.

PrettyGlam

Glad to see they did right by Matt. Really appreciate this presser. Answered alot of the questions I had.

Gabriel Wayne

I trust Terry 100% and will ride out with my team I’ve been with since I set my eyes on a football game 1998. It’s going to be ruff but I’m riding it out with this regime!

    EdgyBrah

    Hes a clown

    Dakota Crowson

    @EdgyBrah who?

    Kinggg Nova

    I love my team. And I’m always going to go for them. But I don’t like anything terry has done the whole time he’s been here. He’s drafted terrible, let go all the wrong people, resigned all the wrong people, free agents don’t seem like they will be good. Let a lot of big names get away. And give me no hope for this draft. He’s a really good TALKER And nothing to show for it. But if he prove me wrong I’ll say I was wrong.

    Wayne Kilgore

    @Kinggg Nova He was handcuffed from the last brain trust with bad contracts plus terrible drafts. Glad to see Matt traded to a team with a running game and a good OL. Ind will make the play offs. TF & AS can’t be as terrible as TD & DQ drafting players. The whole time TD and DQ was in charge of the draft, they failed at drafting an edge rusher in fact how many of their players are still on the team.

    Kinggg Nova

    @Wayne Kilgore I’m over them now. I’m onto Terry now. And he was drafting last year. And we had a 2nd round pick we could’ve drafted javonte williams but we drafted that to Broncos. For nothing. We got nothing out of trading back. Matt Ryan with pitts Williams & Ridley would of been playoffs and that had nothing to do with DQ or TD

Virtual ATL GM

I am very impressed with the Atlanta Falcons and their current front office and coaching staff. Excellent job and well said about the future hall of fame Matt Ryan. Also very excited about Marcus Mariota and his reunion with Arthur Smith.

    Zixsy

    excellent job??? taking a 40m cap hit for what?? cause matty wanted to move on????

    JTS

    Youre easily impressed…

    Cigs and Cereal

    @Zixsy just say you don’t know business lil bro, sure let’s be known around the league as the team that screws over their franchise legends….It’s not like players want to come to atl….it’s about building a culture that players actually want to be apart of and buy into…How you treat your legends impacts that directly.

    Styx Fan

    How can you be impressed with a staff that has basically gutted your team of any remaining decent talent. Lets see how impressed you are come next January.

Grady Adams

Glad Matt was involved. I know we didn’t get what we wanted from the trade but glad to see our previous franchise guy in a better situation

    Laryan Ryan

    I’m glad we’re getting out of his ridiculous contract.

Trademark274

Man im so glad this GM and HC have the balls to make the moves they did! Draft willis at 8 if the safety from Note dame and the edge from oregon gone…then the rest go linemen on both sides then linebacker/saftey and couple WRz and see how we looking in ’23

SKIP THE BASE

Marcus Mariota will be a GREAT QB if he can get the support from the coaches and players…and if he can just stay healthy. If the Falcons can give him a legitimate chance this year I think he’ll do great!

Deonte Watkins

They asked some great questions, thanks guys!

Rise Up!!

Jake Gunter

Thank you Matt you will be missed. I’m excited for Marcus Mariota to see what he can do in the offense. Rise Up!!!

Chris Hertel

Thanks, falcons think I speak for most colts fans, might finally have the man who can get us to the big show!

Styx Fan

Congrats on taking the steps to keep the Falcons wallowing in mediocrity at best. Yep Nice work guys. I’m predicting a whopping 3 win season this year.

Rashaad Lawson

Take care of yourself, Matt Ryan! Once a Falcon, always a Falcon.🦅
