the only reason i can think of that the colts would trade for ryan is if they want the texans to get the worst possible return for watson, and the worst offer is by far from the falcons. It's not even possible their offer is competitive with the panthers offer

Naw falcons need to be within the same ballpark as everyone else or they won’t trade him there. Texans still have some power here. DW threatens to sit next season and they go after his money.

[WOW!!]

Looks like that Gamble on Watson is biting the Browns now..

I'd do it for our 4th

I bet the market for Mayfield is hot. They'll want more than the Jets got for Darnold.

they were already on the outs, going after Watson was the nail in the coffin

What’s really fuging funny is DW has absolutely torched two teams qb rooms morale, the falcons and the browns, over this. 
 

I could absolutely see Matt Ryan demanding a trade after 4 pm today. Atl forums were talking about. 

If I were him, I would.  He has been a good QB for them for over a decade now - face of that franchise.  And now you want his help to bring in your replacement?  Haha, screw that.  I'd tell any team interesting in trading for me that I wouldn't suit up...make the Falcons release me and eat that 50M in dead money

Its probably better for the Browns to trade him now instead of paying him 35-40m a year starting next year.

If I'm the Colts, why would I trade for two years of a basically done Matt Ryan when I can get Baker Mayfield for around the same cost?

For what? Baker couldnt do poo in Cleveland with a loaded roster. He is a Darnold level QB. 

solid point. Baker could not deliver with the Browns even with their talent loaded team.

We're screwed if darnold does this

Why?  He can sit all year and we are the better for it

they only have 11million available in cap. Maybe post trade of Baker.... but thats a lot of stars to line up

Matt Rhule and co are under pressure to win this year. He will not be patient enough to develop a rookie QB. That ship has sailed. They will be trading for a QB or signing a veteran FA most likely. 

Ownership and a good GM should prohibit a lameduck HC from making desperate moves with a roster.  

If they don't we got bigger problems than Rhule

He carried them to their first playoff win in like 10,000 years

I didn't and still don't really want Watson, but regardless of what happens with this whole fiasco, these threads have been pretty damn fun.

It's been nice seeing optimism in this place for the first time in about 6 months.
