This one will be hard to overcome given that he already has a close relationship with Arthur Blank

Matt Ryan has a 50 million dollar dead cap hit this year. That’s nearly a quarter of the cap.

They did not restructure Matt Ryan yet as many have reported. I do not believe that cap hit is accurate and trading Ryan would free up 8M for them this year as opposed to having a 50M dead cap hit. I could be mistaken tho.

Unfortunately the Ryan restructure was never official.

Atlanta Falcons are a 'long shot' for Deshaun Watson trade | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports
Will it happen?
The fact that the Falcons are even involved in the pursuit of Watson tells you there’s a chance, as improbable as that would have seemed as recently as a few hours ago. It just seems to be a slim chance.
To do this, the Falcons would need to outbid the Panthers, Saints and Browns, find a trade partner for Matt Ryan, empty a war chest of picks, somehow navigate around close to $70 million in cap space and dead money tied up in a quarterback set to play for them and one they’d be dealing away, and deal with the public relations fallout such a move would entail. These are not insurmountable challenges for a team motivated enough to make the move, but the confluence of those issues and the fact that there are other suitors who have been aggressively pursuing Watson for some time suggests the Falcons are the longshot Adam Schefter is hearing they are.
All we can do in the meantime is sit back and see what happens, as nerve-wracking as that is. There will plenty of time to consider the fallout of Atlanta’s interest in Watson, whether they land him or not, but hopefully reading this gave you a sense of the stakes.

I hate to say it but I believe the logic used in that video from Matt Ryans cap hit numbers are not correct.
Watson either wants to go there just because he grew up a Falcon and does not car about being on a terrible team or he sits back and decides between the Saints and Panthers and where he thinks he can win at.
