The Falcons Just Got GOOD & BAD News To Start The 2026 Offseason
Atlanta Falcons rumors are getting even closer to becoming true surrounding former Falcons QB Matt Ryan becoming the next president of football per the Athletic’s Dianna Russini. Matt Ryan has been named by Arthur Blank as one of the “sharpest football minds he’s ever been around” and Falcons Today host Trace Moustakas explains his thoughts and feelings around why this would make perfect sense for the Falcons to go out and hire. The back half of the episode is an update to Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts and his contract situation, and with Drake London becoming extension eligible, the Falcons would have an easy choice to pick between the two players.

Dan Graziano On Kyle Pitts
“He came on strong at the end of his fourth season with the team, finishing with 928 receiving yards. But with top wide receiver Drake London extension-eligible, I don’t see the Falcons handing out top tight end money to a player who hasn’t been consistently healthy or consistently great since after his rookie season.”

Arthur Blank On Matt Ryan
“My response to that would be Matt Ryan came into the league as a rookie in 2008, ended up leading a locker room for 14 years, leading in a huddle, being a great player, leading the players, supporting coaches, so his EQ and IQ when it comes to football is extraordinarily high.”

Chat Sports is such a cheap silly name. It reminds me of K-Mart. Can those owners of Chat not come up with a better name that that?
What a silly joke
Please don't franchise tag or re-sign Pitts. He's a very capable receiver but he's not a complete tight end; His blocking is awful and he's missed so many blocks, which has led to Bijan and Tyler to lose yards. But also, this draft class is loaded with talent at the tight end position. And if we let Pitts walk, we'll most likely get a nice compensatory pick for him in 2027.

I would sit down with London and ask him about his contract. If he is going to push for an extension, then I tag Pitts. If he is willing to wait until next year, then sign Pitts. We have seen that when he has a good QB and isn't forgotten about (which showed when London was out) that he is a high caliber receiving threat. If we can resign him, the tag at least ensures we will get some thing in return for the loss.
Y to Matty Ice and no on Pitts London has publicly said time again how much he wan4 to stay in Atlanta amd be a falcon loves the team,city amd fans
MOUSE YOURE A LIAR 17 GAMES OUT OF 4 SEASONS IS NOT HEALTHY AT ALL
If we get a GM before getting John. That less reason for him to come
P
Pass: on KP.
You don't let Kyle pitts walk. You absolutely resign him
London catches the ball consistently Pitts is not reliable.
Y
I like John Harbaugh bring him into our Falcon family he is a good talented winning coach he looks good for the team.
Keep London he's real about the game lose Pitts he's not Falcon type welcome home Matty hello Harbaugh/Belichek in 2026 lets kick a.. Falcons Aim High.
The Falcons could've hired an actual potato, so long as McKay is FINALLY out.
waste
Cousins, Harbaugh/Belichek, Matty London, Bijan, Woerner, Garrett, the team themselves w/o Pitts &Penix I see Superbowl Win.
Yes Yes Yes very excited for Matt Ryan to enter the fold
P… gettem out of here
Time to go back to the red helmets permanently. The current uniforms are awful and they haven't had a winning season since switching.
My eyes tell me when the game is schemed for Kyle Pitts he goes off.
Yes
yes! Lets GOOOO!
Wrong wrong wrong you outsiders not Georgia rooted don't have a d… clue what Georgians need or don't need we hear you not backoff we
refuse to convert to your habitual bad jinx we love our Arthur Blank we love our Falcons we love our fans whom are strictly Georgia rooted all others are not important.
S
No, Matt Ryan couldn't run for three yards to save his life. I know he can't run a team. Never had to fire of the upper QBs. It's not in him. They put people around him to cover up for his shortcomings. Always drafting offense.
Yes
No – Matt Ryan is just a yes-man.
Y
London top 5 WR in the NFL Pitts potential to be top 5 TE in the league Robinson top 3 RB in the league Robinson & Algeier best RB duo in the league do not let none of them leave the Falcons
Y Matty Ice is the ATL Falcons… for many many reasons
Y
Pee please
Y. Matt Ryan will know quality players when He sees them. Extend London and let Pitts go.
So fan 20 years if its 20 years like 10 years playoffs off and shit lol. On and off .there should be a 50 ppg
Pass, I’ve been doing a madden 26 realistic rebuild of the falcons, I let Pitts walk and drafted stowers, and we’re cooking
If Kyle Pitts is willing to take less than $10m a year, or maybe right at $10m a year, seriously consider keeping him. There are far too many other positions of serious need to waste the capital on Pitts. Yes, he's a fantastic player at his peak but he has not played at that level consistently enough for me to pay him $14m+
Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham have me genuinely excited to see what this team can do. Im not expect true greatness year 1, but a trip to the playoffs in any fashion would sure be a nice way to kickstart it.
Hmm I’m confused this team is full of talent so Terry had nuthin to do with that,So how did the team get so much talent cause I keep hear that but yet contradict yourself by saying what he didn’t do. 6:20
YES, YES AND YES
we need to sign tyler, KP, and Kaden. With Matty Ice coming in, The last time KP was good was with him. We need to trade mooney get some picks hopefully. Maybe Hughes as well, Go draft the kicker from Michigan Replace David O with a few guys so we can have a rotation, slide zach out, so we have JW JPJ Trice And Zach that is a good rotational edge group.
chat sports y’all better keep moose, half the reason why i keep up to date on all the vids
It wasn't the old GM fault. He had to deal with Smith as a head coach.
we want moose, sign the man
Every GM has hits and misses when being a GM. Coaching was the problem with the falcons
what do you think about picking up pete carrol
Yes!
