The Falcons are overhauling their front office and coaching staff following an eighth consecutive season in which they missed the playoffs.
The studio coverage of the NFL on CBS could look very different in 2026, with Matt Ryan reportedly in negotiations to leave The NFL Today and return to the Atlanta Falcons in a front-office capacity.
In 14 seasons with the Falcons, the 2008 first-round pick made four Pro Bowls and became the franchise's all-time leader in passing touchdowns (367).
The NFL officially started recording sack totals during the 1982 season, and since then a player has totaled 18 or more sacks in a season on 31 occasions. How many of the 31 can you name in five minutes?
Discussions about whether or not San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is overrated or underrated have existed for a long time.
Rule changes have made passing numbers easier to compile in the modern era, and the game's top quarterbacks have taken full advantage. While the heaviest hitters are represented here, some storied postseasons by slightly lesser-celebrated QBs remain entrenched in playoff annals as well.
It is safe to say that the Atlanta Falcons’ gamble on Kirk Cousins is a failure. Even though the veteran quarterback is still with the Falcons, he’s likely to be moved this offseason.
The Atlanta Falcons finally have a reason to have substantial hope again. In the NFL, not having solid quarterback play is a death penalty. The Atlanta Falcons tried to address that issue this offseason by making two huge moves.
I said it before the season, and it rings true today. These 2024 Atlanta Falcons are Matt Ryan’s Falcons. Kirk Cousins was excellent on Sunday. By passer rating standards, it was the best game of his young Falcons career.
The retired signal-caller, one-time regular-season Most Valuable Player and current NFL analyst recently offered some advice while speaking with Maye following a training camp practice.
The Atlanta Falcons will forever be haunted by their Super Bowl LI loss to the New England Patriots, but that takes nothing away from the stellar careers of QB Matt Ryan, WR Julio Jones and LT Jake Matthews.
The former Falcon joined CBS Sports as an NFL analyst last season.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
The Falcons drafted the QB third overall in 2008, and he served as the team’s starting quarterback from that point through to his final campaign in Atlanta (2021).
At least one reputable source is a huge fan of the Jaguars' move for Mac Jones.
A franchise icon has weighed in on the Falcons' decision to hire Raheem Morris as their next head coach.
Him admitting that he felt like he could "go play" is interesting considering fellow veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco went from watching games on the couch to becoming a savior for the 2023 Cleveland Browns.
Could these three veterans add some magic to the Browns' QB room?
One-time NFL regular season Most Valuable Player and current CBS Sports analyst Matt Ryan thinks the next six game weeks will help determine the future of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder beyond this season.
Through three weeks of play, it's become evident the New York Jets could use some reinforcement under center. Whether Gang Green ultimately dips their toes in the quarterback market remains unknown.
New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh reiterated Sunday he's sticking with Zach Wilson at quarterback. Based on potentially available QBs, New York doesn't have many exciting options as a replacement for the former BYU star.
The New York Jets apparently turned down overtures from veteran quarterbacks Matt Ryan and Carson Wentz while they continue to stick it out with failed top-five draft pick Zach Wilson.
The Indianapolis Colts revolving door at quarterback is set to take another turn. Hopefully for them it leads to a more permanent solution this time around.
