Probably, but I think he finishes out his contract. His play has declined, but I can't imagine him not sticking around to coach up Dean and be a transition piece.

I also think the front office is going to have to think realistically about where they are as a franchise this offseason and make a decision on Grady Jarrett.

Outside of being virtually one of the only bright spots the last few years as a producer, he's the heart and soul of our organization. Under no circumstance beyond a 1st round pick (won't happen) do you do this. I'd be willing to bet he's more safe than Matt Ryan.

As for Matt Ryan, honestly, if the Falcons don't draft Pickett or Corral, you're looking at your QB for the next 3 years, at least. I'm fine with it - Arthur Smith is a damn good coach and watching him restructure our offense to run the ball and get wide-open looks downfield with a pretty "rag tag" group of WRs has given me hope Ryan has one, maybe two big postseason runs left.

This part doesn't matter one bit to me. The question is, would he be more valuable to a Falcons team that is likely not a Super Bowl contender for a few years or would the potential draft pick(s) be more valuable as the organization continues to build for the future?

Obviously it depends on the return, but if someone is offering a 1st or 2nd and is willing to take on the entirety of his contract like Tennessee did with Julio, it needs to be considered.
