Jared from Jacksonville, FL
Hey Beek! Love your stuff always have fun reading it whether I agree or disagree. My personal opinion is we go get Coach B from the Chiefs since defensive-minded coaches haven't panned out. My question is, how many "blockbuster" trades do you see us pulling out during the draft? Mr. Blank said it himself, everyone's on the table.
Matt: Let's tap the brakes before I answer your question, Jared. Defensive-minded coaches haven't panned out? Last time I checked, Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher, Tony Dungy, Chuck Noll, Don Shula and Tom Landry have combined to win a lot of hardware. If you're referencing Dan Quinn, let's not forget he at least coached the Falcons to Super Bowl LI and the team lost in overtime. OK, on to you question. If by blockbuster trade you mean a big-name player or players and/or multiple players or picks involved, I don't think it's very likely. When I think of the five biggest names on the Falcons, Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Grady Jarrett, Deion Jones and Calvin Ridley come to mind. Could any of those players be moved by a new regime? Sure, I suppose they could try or think about it, but I don't see it happening. The one player fans bring up the most is Ryan and trading him right now makes no financial sense at all. First, to trade him before June 1, the dead money owed in 2021 would be somewhere around $49 million. Keep in mind, the Falcons also have the third-lowest amount of salary cap space heading into next year. If the Falcons waited until after the season or before the 2022 season, the dead money is $17.9 million. That's why I don't see it happening this year. Another reason? Who is playing quarterback? Kurt Benkert? A rookie selected with the No. 4 pick? OK, and what about all of the other issues that need to be addressed with this team? How are you fixing them with all of that dead money? You know, Ryan was the least of the Falcons' problems in 2020. Think about that.
