Falcons QB Ryan's future in Atlanta not certain

Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank refused to guarantee the future of quarterback and former NFL MVP Matt Ryan following the departures of Dan Quinn and Thomas Dimitroff.

The Falcons are overseeing a period of change after head coach Quinn and general manager Dimitroff were sacked amid Atlanta's 0-5 start to the season.

Raheem Morris will take over as coach on an interim basis following Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers, with attention now turning to veteran QB Ryan.

Ryan – the number three pick in the 2008 NFL Draft – remains contracted to the Falcons until 2023 and the 35-year-old has stated he would like to play until he is 40.

We have named Raheem Morris Interim Head Coach.

"I love Matt, much like I love Dan, I love Thomas,'' Blank said on Monday. "Matt's been a franchise leader for us, great quarterback; one of the leading quarterbacks in the last 13 years in the NFL.
