Falcons taking calls on Julio Jones
Quote:
A hamstring injury limited Jones to just nine games last season, though he still put up strong numbers when he was on the field. He caught 51 passes for 771 yards and three scores as the Falcons finished the year 4-12. From 2014-19, Jones missed only four games and averaged 104 catches and 1,564 yards per season. SI Link.







From Peter King:
Quote:
Surprises? Keep an eye on Atlanta. I can’t predict any bombshells. But a few things would not surprise me. Most notably, the Falcons putting the framework of a trade together for star wideout Julio Jones, and making the trade effective June 2. That way, Atlanta could split Jones’ cap charge between 2021 and 2022 instead of getting bashed with it all this year. So if such a trade happens, I expect it could involve a future pick or picks, nothing this year. (A future second-round pick as compensation seems fair to me.) Because such a trade wouldn’t be official till June, no picks in this draft could be involved. As for the interested team or teams, I would guess Las Vegas; Jon Gruden couldn’t resist Antonio Brown, and I doubt he could resist Julio Jones. New England too, and a couple of teams with clear receiver needs—Tennessee and Baltimore.

Now, the Falcons don’t really want to trade Julio Jones. He’s a franchise legend. But he’s 32, entering his 11th season, coming off a banged-up year with seven games missed due to injury, and the Falcons are in cap jail. If they could off-load his money and cushion it by splitting it between this year ($7.75 million) and next ($15.5 million), Atlanta’s cap charge on Jones this year goes down by a tad more than $15 million.

One final note here, to be very clear: I am not reporting the Falcons will trade Jones, or will probably trade Jones. I am saying it would not surprise me if it happened.

You could easily make cap space, hell Andrew Wylie and Byron Pringle are taking up about 5 mill right now.

....yup as the 1st target, in an offense that has been designed around him and at 15M a year. Larry would be better for THIS team and what we need: a 3rd option who won't drop the ball and will be available every week. He also would be a major bonus in the locker room. There's probably no WR more respected in the league than Larry.

If he were a free agent and able to sign a new deal, it would be one thing.

But we have $9M in cap space currently so we can't take on his $15M in guarantees while giving up probably a 2nd and 3rd round pick to get him.

It's not just Julio, it's also the cost. It's not worth it, especially considering his age and injury history.

Exactly. Dependable. That's what we need.

Cheap and consistently healthy.

Two things Julio Jones isn't.

But what even is he now? The Cardinals are moving in because he runs like he's stuck in the dirt.

I don't want either player. I wouldn't want them for a dollar. Develop the young guys you have, spend money on a DE that becomes available

I was responding to mkp, Julio is dumber considering his contract for sure.


I feel like Cleveland, talking themselves into Dwayne Bowe.

If Fitzgerald was completely free of any cost, and the NFL told us we could have an extra roster spot for him to sit on, I wouldn't want him. Just a waste of reps for a player that looks like he's 50 years old when playing now.

...and yet he still had similar numbers to Julio last year lol. Plus, he won't cost us what JJ will either. I'm not saying we make him the main guy but as a 3rd option, who's just catching stuff to move the sticks......

Let me ask all of you a question:

Do you think Larry Fitzgerald would've dropped those passes we saw Mecole and Robinson drop in the Super Bowl?

We don't need him to take the top off a defense. That's Reek's job.

He missed four games in five years. Having one season where you have a lingering injury and balling out in all the games you play, does not suddenly mean you have a history of injury. If you don't like his contract that's one thing, but acting like he has a history of not being able to stay on the field is a bit much.
