The more I look at it the more it seems the Falcons made a mess of this backing themselves into a corner where they had to trade him post June 1st because otherwise there was no way to get compliant and everyone knew he wanted out.
Firstly you don't take Fields (or another QB) because you are betting on Ryan, then you trade his best weapon for future picks and don't even get something that is likely to turn into anything. Not a great look. At the draft if you can get a 2021 first rounder to go with Pitts I think you can justify it, but now you are either bad and probably not getting as good a QB next year as you could have this year or you aren't bad and Ryan isn't getting the talent around him anyway as he ages.
