I hate this so much. The league will never convince me that this is lateral. Not in title, not in responsibility.

We heard from Matt Ryan and he said the GM and coach have final roster authority. Progress Update: Ryan noted the team has made strong progress in the GM search, having interviewed multiple candidates, including Joe Douglas, Mike Bradway, and others, as of late January 2026. Role Definition: Ryan stated he is not doing scouting or running meetings, and that the GM's responsibilities remain unchanged. Support System: His focus is on acting as a support system to ensure the new GM and Head Coach have the resources to build a winning team. Philosophy: Ryan expressed a desire to find a GM who shares a philosophy focused on building a strong, "tough" team in the trenches. Process: The search is focusing on changing the structure of team operations rather than just "recycling names".

Digging deeper. Matt Ryan publicly stated that the GM and head coach will have roster authority. This should put fake news to rest...

Turner should be 3T only. Dexter is horse crap at 3T and should only play 1T. Honestly, I don't really like him at all. He's still the last person off the ball. If it's 4th and 1, I know I'm getting one by running at him. Billings gets a lot of crap, but he's faster off the ball by a longshot. Your pick of Kayden McDonald is a good one. He's a big man that is disruptive. I would draft another 3T after that. Turner and draftee would make Jarrett obsolete.

By all means, this rant is not directed to anyone here. The Internet experts are full of crap. I can't find anywhere that states anything that anyone on this board are speculating. Matt Ryan is president of football and is looking for a general manager. Regardless of anything else, it will be an executive position within the category of the pick compensation. There is also nothing in print that outlines Ryan's job. I'm fully convinced, IF Ian gets the job, we will get the picks.

What loop? If Cunningham goes to the Falcons, we get 3rd rounders. Am I missing something?

Just saw Cunningham is interviewing...

Caleb has a lot more to work on than completion percentage. That will naturally raise it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Matt Ryan has been named the Atlanta Falcons' President of Football as of January 10, 2026, leaving his role as a CBS Sports analyst to return to the organization. In this new front-office position, he oversees all football operations, reports to owner Arthur Blank, and is actively leading the search for a new head coach and general manager.

Atlanta fired their GM

Something I noticed and am not sure has been discussed yet is that Matt Ryan is the president of the Falcons. Ryan and Poles were roommates in college. Cross your fingers...

I think that a felony in NY...

I understand. Kmet can be a 70 catch guy. The thing is, he doesn't have the separation and run after catch ability that makes him special. Anyway, hopefully he's here for years to come. I truly think he and Loveland can coexist on 150 targets a year going forward.

He's under contract for more than he's worth, so what...

I don't see it that way. While being a big Kmet fan, I don't see him as a bell cow. He's more of a plow horse. Loveland is purely different. He may be the biggest difference maker on the team. Cole is steady and reliable, but I don't see him consistently winning routes like Colston does. I really like having them both going forward...

And they have a DT we need...

Gimme a chip and a chair! That's why we don't quit on plays...🤪🤔😎

You mentioned earlier that they need to train more to catch Caleb's bullets. True, but Caleb also needs to relax and lead them better with softer passes. The combination of his quick release and throwing piss missiles gives the receiver less time to react and make the grab. I truly believe Caleb will slow down a lot this coming year and every year after.

Depends on the year. This year 25.

Flores may never get another chance to be a HC. He burned a major bridge with his lawsuits. He was completely justified in doing so to but the billionaire boys club has different rules. After Jon Gruden gets done with them, they may lock ranks and never hire anyone who may be a threat again.

He kinda had to play him this year. DJ being the incumbent leader/elder statesman of the WR room, had a lot of clout with the youngsters. BJ simply couldn't come in and eviscerate the captain. That's why the off-season body language thing came out delicately played. Now that BJ and Randall El have established their trust with the players DJ's influence doesn't carry the weight. In the meantime lesser weapons got the "no block, no rock" treatment. (Burden,Walker, Loveland). Time means a lot. Going forward, Loveland, Burden and Walker enter their second pro year needing more targets. Let alone Rome entering the beginning of his prime. The combination of the above make DJ expendable. We need one of the above to accept the crown. If they need to find that dog, they can get a hungry vet cheaply in free agency. At the end of the day, we want an Amon Ra type to be our leader. (No plays off). Plays off are for the sideline...

Listening to Thayer the other day, he pointed out getting Theo the strength training he needs. He's a big athletic guy coming off the knee surgery last year. This would be his strength gain year. Theo seems like a got that will do what's necessary. Also, Poles said Kiran is progressing nicely. Thayer also stated that he believes the surgery Ozzy is getting is like the new Achilles surgery. Thinking the odds of recovery get better all the time. He miss a good portion, if not all of next season. My guess is that we sign Braxton on a one year prove it or an experienced vet.

Regardless of knowing or not, we know three things. 1). DJ inexplicably slowed down. 2). Caleb expected to be elsewhere. 3). Tom Waddle said, the cardinal sin for any receiver is to let a deep safety get under you in a route. If you are trying to identify poop, you don't start by tasting...
