“Matt Ryan never asked the Falcons for a new contract — that was not a part of the equation, per sources,” Adam Schefter with ESPN tweeted. He just felt like the time had come to move on from Atlanta. Ryan signed off on a trade to Indianapolis because he felt like the Colts have a roster that’s built to win now.”
