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.

I honestly don't care how good he is. I wouldn't take him unless he was pretty much free. I want guys that can be relied upon to be suited up on game day.

The only difference is that to this point, Jones has played through most of injuries while Sammy usually sits out when he gets hurt.

The problem is that, at Jones' age, his body might not be able to do that as much, even if he is willing.

Sammy plays when he's hurt. He played 14 games last year. He just doesn't produce like Julio because he isn't nearly as good.

Sammy Watkins is a borderline elite WR. Julio Jones is a generational talent.

Jesus Christ, I didn't know I literally had to spell it out to make you guys understand I'm not saying that Watkins is even close to Jones in terms of talent.

However, both guys are very good WR's that are CONSTANTLY hurt. Jones has traditionally played through those injuries and not missed as much time as Watkins but he's also 4 years older than Watkins and he's not going to be able to do it forever.

I'd like to think the Chiefs are smart enough not to give up a draft pick or picks for a 32 year old, oft-injured wide receiver while paying him $15 million dollars.

I get all your points, and basically landed on “if Veach sees value, I’m down.” I also recognize it’s unlikely.

But you won’t stop my dick from getting hard when I think about Patrick throwing to Julio. Don’t kink-shame.

Sammy Watkins was an elite prospect who at this point in his career is a total bust. In his seven years in the league he averages 650 yards and 5 touchdowns a season. Those are pretty much JAG numbers.

Julio Jones will likely be a first ballot HOFer and a top ten wide receiver to ever play the game.

Lets just stop the comparison is all I am saying. They don't belong in the same sentence together.

At some point the Chiefs are going to want young cheap talent to offset the big contracts.
