And when not costing 2nd and 3rd round picks plus $15M guaranteed. We just don't have the capital to do it. We'd be cutting off our nose to spite our face. |

April 9, 2021, Chiefs re-signed WR Tajae Sharpe.
May 17, 2021, Chiefs waive WR Tajae Sharpe. May 17, 2021, Chiefs sign WR Daurice Fountain. May 24, 2021, Falcons sign WR Tajae Sharpe. ESPN showing Falcons WR depth chart with Tajae Sharp as second WR right behind Julio Jones. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/atl I realize this is just ESPN, nothing official, but that's interesting they would put Sharpe that high. Atlanta does have some good receivers in Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, and they drafted Frank Darby (6th rd) who might be good. Other WR names for Atlanta, Christian Blake, Chris Rowland, Antonio Nunn, Juwan Green, Greg Dortch, Cordarrelle Patterson (ST), and Olamide Zaccheaus. Atlanta might ask for a WR as part of a Julio Jones trade. |

PS: the Chiefs don't need Julio Jones to win the SuperBowl, they just need to WANT IT again.
They ****ing sleepwalked through last season, and it finally bit them in the SuperBowl. |

How about Demarcus Robinson and a third round pick for Julio and some cash from the Falcons to offset the big salary cap number this year?
Would any of the Julio naysayers be willing to take a chance in that scenario? |

That game was just a giant shitshow outside of the Mahomes to Pringle connection. |

If the price tag comes down to about half of what it is now, I'd do it. But at the current cost, no way. |

Not saying they would necessarily, but was just throwing out a hypothetical due to the anti-Julio sentiment from one side.
Supposedly the asking price has dropped due to him publically saying he wants out now and they're trying to offload salary. Maybe not the 'asking price', but what they can realistically get for him. Sending Julio and some cash (not a lot probably, granted) still helps with that while adding another NFL WR with experience in a complex NFL offense while adding a 3rd round pick to the draft bag. Again, I think they could probably get a little better and some team would offer more, but was just throwing out a hypothetical to see if any of the anti-Julioites would bite IF this were an option. At one time, I would have thought the Orlando Brown trade that Veach pulled off wasn't a realistic option . . . . . . . . . . . . . . until it was. |

Yep. But other teams probably want a discount and holding out for a 3/4. Given Jones probably only goes to a team he believes is a playoff contender it is most likely a low 3. Those out of the picture would have the same headache the Falcons have.

Atlanta would probably want Mecole Hardman instead. Mecole has a contract for '21 and '22 for a pretty good price. His base is $874,096 with $75,000 workout bonus and then a base of $1,101,144 with another $75,000 workout bonus. https://overthecap.com/player/mecole-hardman/7847/ |

I'm anti-giving up $15M in cap space to a 32-year old guy with a lengthy injury history and some evidence that it is finally catching up with him. For me, it just needs to be lower comp. There's too much risk to give up what the price tag is right now. |
