By all means, if we could get his salary down BEFORE signing, that would be much more palatable. But that doesn't work this time around.

Crazy as it sounds, it looks like Atlanta will need to restructure part of his deal prior to a trade for anyone to offer anything significant for him, so the immediate 2021 salary may not be as big of a hurdle as we think it may be.

For sure if that happens, we should be all over it. Plus you have to think that the draft pick compensation will come down too the longer it takes. They need cap relief bad.

Tyreek's on board.

“If I could play alongside Julio Jones, that would be amazing,” Hill told reporters in Wichita at Hill’s youth football camp. “I was in high school when he was doing his thing at Alabama, and I’ve been a fan ever since. How big he is, how fast he is and how dominant he is, we all know Julio is arguably the best in the game. If I’m able to play alongside Julio, I would love it.”

Would he still love it if he had to take an under-market value extension to pay for Julios bloated contract?

What's he supposed to say, no?

That's a standard answer to a softball question

If we don’t trade for Julio, then I feel great about what Powell, Hardman, Robinson, and Gray will do this year. If Veach feels there is an issue with our receiving options, he’ll find a way to make a splash.

If Veach chooses not to make a move, then we should feel good about what we have.

It seems the Falcons spread a bunch of rumors that a team or multiple teams were lining up to give them a 1st rounder and take on Julio's salary. :doh!:

So far...crickets.

If they restructure Julio- eat a big helping of his salary and settle for a 3rd- they can move him this week-lol

Hmmm...how many legit contenders have a QB with a rocket arm? Rams, Bills, Packers, Seahawks and.....Chiefs.

I think they’re still around 11 mil, which is still short, but closer than we are.

Chargers too but Veach make your move!! Extend Honey Badger and sign Julio and Billay will give you the best sloppy toppy you’ve ever had.
