The Indianapolis Colts officially have their new quarterback in the form of veteran Matt Ryan after pulling off a trade with the Atlanta Falcons this week.
Ryan, who was introduced officially on Tuesday, will be bringing a breath of fresh air when it comes to stability at the quarterback position. His skillset is seemingly a better fit for Frank Reich’s offense than Carson Wentz’s was during the 2021 season.
Though the Colts have more moves to make as free agency progresses, here’s a look at how experts around the league graded the trade:

What they said: “The soon-to-be 37-year-old Ryan doesn’t come close to solving their longstanding need for a long-term signal-caller. But with the Falcons absorbing his monster cap hits, he’ll cost the Colts just $54 million over the next two years, which is almost exactly what Wentz was due through 2023 and Ryan is definitely an upgrade from Wentz.”
