Because he's not old. He's 32. Again, go look at the year-by-year breakdown of a lot of the all time greats. Literally nearly all of them had career years around 32 and 33. Moss, Carter, Fitzgerald, Harrison, Owens, Rice.

We are in an arms race with Tampa.
If Julio is the checkmate piece in Veach's mind do it. |

It'd make the offense unstoppable, but is it worth allocating the money and picks for it.

It’s all about beating TB in the SB.
It’s basically a 3 year, 35m deal with 15m guaranteed to make our offense completely unstoppable. I understand your concerns with his lower leg injuries over the years. He’s had a lot of little nagging injuries over time. They add up and the concern can’t be ignored or downplayed. For the last 6 years (with last year being the only exception) he’s had 1400-1900 yards each year. Constant weapon that DEMANDS a bracket. That, also can’t be ignored or downplayed. The upside is worth the gamble. With him, we likely win every game and dominate the Super Bowl. Historic type season. Last edited by BossChief; 05-20-2021 at 08:07 PM.. |

I seem too recall us sending a HOF player to Atlanta so he had a shot at a ring, maybe it's their time to return that favor.

You're assuming that Tampa Bay will make it back to the Super Bowl, which is certainly far from guaranteed.
Most of the guys on that team had never played beyond 16 games in their entire lives. Now, they'll need to play 20 games at minimum and that's after playing 20 games last season. Those extra games take a toll on a person's body, as we saw last year with the Chiefs, who have played more games in the past three seasons than any other football team. On top of that, there isn't a chance in hell that Brady could survive behind Tampa's 4th string left guard, right guard, right tackle and backup left tackle and he may not survive if the Bucs have any injuries to their offensive line this season. I know a lot of people are basically penciling in the Bucs for Super Bowl 56 but the real odds, not the Vegas odds, are against it. |

Also, he’s old and has a limited trade market due to cap concerns to complete a trade.
Send a 2nd and get a 5th back or something and let’s roll!! |

The guy is on the downside of his career. If the Falcons were to trade him for a 4th or a 5th and he'd reduce his salary to around $5 million with incentives, it might be worth a shot. But there's no way the Chiefs should give up a 1st rounder and $35 million for a guy for wheels have already begun to fall off. |

If we get a healthy Julio Jones, there is like a 85% chance we win the Super Bowl barring a Kelce, Mahomes, Hill injury.
