Optimistic about new coach Ryan said Wednesday that he's spoken to new head coach Arthur Smith "a handful of times," and he remains excited about the opportunity to work with Atlanta's new staff, Kelsey Conw...
Impact Ryan labeled Smith as extremely smart and "a really good fit" for what the Falcons currently need on the sideline. In addition to commenting on the new coaching staff, the veteran signal-caller was realistic about where he stands in his career, noting that he will be a professional and the best teammate possible if the Falcons decide to select a quarterback in April's draft. With Ryan and Atlanta coming off a third consecutive losing season, a quarterback could very well be in play for the Falcons as early as the No. 4 overall pick.

Scores three times in Week 17 loss Ryan completed 29 of 44 pass attempts for 265 yards and two touchdowns, adding a one-yard rushing TD over three carries during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact Roles were reversed from the division rivals' Week 15 showdown, as Ryan and the Falcons found themselves in a significant halftime deficit. Ryan rallied his team from 13 points down, helping Atlanta cut Tampa Bay's lead to three points on two separate occasions in the second half. However, the Falcons were unable to score on their final two possessions, as Tom Brady and the Buccaneers mounted 14 unanswered points to close out the regular-season finale. Ryan's 4-12 starting record from 2020 ties the worst of his career, but $23 million of base salary going into next season reduces flexibility in potentially moving him. There's no telling what the incoming general manager and head coach will consider Ryan to be at this phase of his career, rendering his long-term future with the organization tentative. With Ryan entering his age-36 season, Atlanta may consider adding his potential replacement sooner rather than later.
