I was watching the NFL network do a piece on this and holy shite. If ATL pulls this trigger, Arthur Blank is sending Matt Ryan out with a middle finger.

Matt Ryan's cap hit this year will be like 30mil+ and then they have to pay Watson. How in the frick can this team afford any of this? We can't. We're killing off the next 2 years for a player who will most definitely be suspended for a half a year or more. Plus he could potentially have crimes in court go against him. This seems fricking silly.

I don't think it's a middle finger to Matt at all.

Why would he agree to delay the 7 mill bonus if the Falcons were disrespecting him?

He needs a contender for the last few good years he has. That's not happening here. I can't name one receiver on the team!

As far as affording it. It can be done. Likely the team will be shite this year as you mention. But it's likely to be shite this year anyway!!
