Colts Acquire QB Matt Ryan From Falcons in Exchange for 3rd-Round Pick

After 14 years in Atlanta, Matt Ryan is on the move. The league’s third-oldest quarterback spent his entire career with the Falcons, leading the team to six playoff appearances and one Super Bowl — the blown 28-3 lead against the Patriots in Super Bowl LI. Ryan ranks eighth in all-time passing yards (59,735) and ninth in passing touchdowns (367). Now, he’ll become the Colts’ third quarterback in as many season, following Philip Rivers and Carson Wentz as the team attempts to get their Super Bowl-hungry roster over the hump. It’s no secret Indy saw what the Rams did last season by acquiring veteran QB Matthew Stafford, and they’ll hope to replicate that formula in 2022.
