Yeah. I traded him to Jax. He ended up getting hurt and only getting 18 carries this year....
2022 SEASON
KEY RETIREMENTS
After 14 seasons, SE Gilbert Boyer hangs 'em up. He joined the team as a 1(6) pick back in '08. He never lived up to that kind of billing, but he did have a solid career as a Falcon, mainly as a 3rd/4th WR, and retires as the all-time Falcon leader in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving TD's. His numbers...

KEY FA DEPARTURES
QB Gus Lucas--I should have traded him last year, ultimately, but I didn't think he'd ask for a BIG contract yet, considering he's only thrown 35 passes in his career. His ratings are getting rather studly, though, so I should have known. Because Randall Barker kept putting up better and better numbers each year, Lucas never got the chance to start, even though he's scouted as being better than Barker. He'll probably make a fine QB somewhere else.
WLB Austin Farrell--As much as we're ahead, and as good and deep as our secondary is, we play a lot of nickel anyway. No point in paying a big salary for WLB any longer. Houston signs him.
LT Ike Klug--20.6 KRBPct last year, and allowed 8 sacks. I'm not paying big bucks for mediocrity. Pittsburgh signs him to a 3-yr/$30M deal.
P Steve Wilton--getting too expensive...goes to Seattle
KEY FA ARRIVALS
P Dan Davidson--cheaper punter. 17-year vet.
LG Jackie Samuels--12-year vet signed to one-year deal as a stopgap while my starter (Gave Lemons) is on IR this season
LT Adam Wyoming--Another 12-year vet. Better at pass-blocking than run-blocking. 2-year deal.
NEW LONG-TERM CONTRACTS
None.
There's a stud RB in this year's draft pool. after last year's debacle, and Wolfe's continued drop in ratings, I deal the 1(32), and the first-rounders for the next two seasons, to get up to 1(3) to grab him. I then trade Wolfe (and a bit cap hit next year), along with a 5th-rounder this year to Jax for their 2nd-rounder next year. This deal frees up a little cap room to re-sign FS Jimmy May, who is an RFA.

Dadgummit! Our pass defense had been so good in the regular season, but just got torched in the NFC Championship. That's a real bummer, because next year will probably be one of a bit of transition. Several key guys' contracts have run out because the cap wouldn't allow the big extensions that they wanted. Around 6-8 key players will have to be sorted through in the offseason.
An obvious bright spot is the play of Glenn Reynolds. QB Barker will be in his 10th season next year, and his ratings have dropped a hair. Luke Ulufale is close, but probably not ready to take over. Point being, we may have to rely on the running game more and more in the next few seasons.
Washington went on to win the Front Office Bowl 28-14 over San Diego.
NOTE: I was pretty stunned with the final victory over Carolina. Because I had everything clinched at that point, I de-activated my best players, started everyone who was disgruntled or worse, rested everyone with even a minor injury, etc
NEW RECORDS INVOLVING FALCONS
Barker takes over the Falcon career lead for passing yards with 22,489..
RCB Bennie Cobb's 25 passes defensed are a team record.
We set an all-time league record for scoring in a single season this year
