.JarrettBell on what's next for the Falcons after trading QB Matt Ryan. Hint: It doesn't look pretty.

Had Ryan, who turns 37 in May, stayed in Atlanta, the chances were better that he would have absorbed the type of brutal beatings that send quarterbacks limping into retirement. In each of the past four seasons, Ryan was sacked at least 40 times behind a woeful offensive line that is just one of the areas in need of an overhaul during this undeniable rebuilding phase.

Maybe this can be chalked up as a gesture of appreciation. After all, Ryan, the most successful quarterback in Falcons history, provided stability and productivity over 14 seasons, plus a whole lot of credibility as the face of the franchise that was left reeling following the Michael Vick dogfighting fiasco.

Good luck, Mariota. While the Falcons have an enormous talent in second-year tight end Kyle Pitts and utilityman Cordarrelle Patterson just re-upped for two years, the Falcons will be hard-pressed to quickly fill the holes. Factoring in the $15.5 million in dead money the team absorbed from last year’s trade of Julio Jones, Atlanta has over $60 million in dead money against the $208.2 million cap.
