Matt Schaub News
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said on Monday that veteran quarterback Matt Schaub is retiring. Schaub will finish his career in the NFL at 39 years old after playing 16 seasons with the Falcons, Texans, Ravens and Raiders. He began his career as a third-round pick of the Falcons back in 2004 out of Virginia. Schaub spent the first three years of his career in Atlanta before heading to Houston, where he spent seven seasons and had his best years with Pro Bowl selections in 2009 and 2012. Schaub's best season came in that '09 campaign, throwing for a league-high 4,770 yards (298.1 yards per game) with a career-high 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. He's been mostly a backup since 2014. Schaub will finish his career with 25,467 passing yards, 136 touchdowns and 91 interceptions over 155 games (93 starts).
The Atlanta Falcons are expected to pick up quarterback Matt Schaub's $2 million option for the 2020 season, according to a source. Schaub made just one start in 2019 and was underwhelming in place of Matt Ryan. The veteran signal-caller attempted 67 passes for 580 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in parts of six games last season. He'll be 39 in June and is a shaky backup option if Matty Ice were to miss any more games next season due to injury. Even if Schaub is starting games at some point next year, he'd be a shaky second QB in two-quarterback leagues.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub did a capable job filling in for injured starter Matt Ryan (ankle) in Week 8. Schaub completed 39-of-52 passes for 460 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks. He also threw an interception and lost a fumble. The Falcons have their bye next week and it's likely that Ryan will be returning as the team's starter in Week 10 as he was questionable much of this past week leading up to the game. Schaub can be dropped or left on waiver wires after this week.
