According to a report by Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is “almost certainly” going to the Colts if he gets traded.
The Seahawks are in need of a QB themselves after trading Russell Wilson to the Broncos and it sounds like Pete Carroll prefers a veteran over a rookie or an inexperienced option like Drew Lock. That means Ryan makes a lot of sense and the team has made inquiries about him.
Seattle definitely has a better receiver corps than Indy. However, the Colts have two distinct advantages: one being an offensive-minded head coach in Frank Reich and the second being a much better offensive line. The Seahawks are also currently down two offensive tackles with Duane Brown and Brandon Shell having just become free agents.
Ryan has a $7.5 million roster bonus due tomorrow, so unless the Falcons can work out a new deal that lowers his cap hit odds are he will get traded at some point today.
