The Falcons aren't releasing Julio Jones and taking a $40 million dollar cap hit this year. |

Maybe you missed the very subtle message of my previous post. Several of the all time greats had some of their most productive careers well into their 30s. Their is zero evidence to indicate Jones doesn't have two or three high level years left. The AFC last year outside of Kansas City was dogshit. We had to go through the Browns and Bills to make the Super Bowl for crying out loud. Thank God Veach doesn't think like you. If Julio Jones still has 2-3 high level years left Hill/Jones/Kelce would be the best trio of pass catchers to ever exist. Why the hell not try to rattle off two or three Super Bowls in a row? |

There are $40 million reasons (and valuable resources in draft picks) not to do a deal for 32 year old receiver on the downside of his career for a team that was a left tackle away from a second consecutive Super Bowl win. |

No clue. Dont care. Go study their injury history if you want. Im sure they all dealt with their fair share of injuries. Proof is in the pudding. Julio Jones has already had a HOF career and he's only 32 years old. |

Again stop with the "downside of career" bullcrap! You have zero idea if that is true or not.

Take a flier on Brown...if he's a problem, you dump him. It's what they just did on Callaway... KC made the SB without Watkins...so WR is a need but really more for depth/insurance. |

While I fully expect the Chiefs to take a WR with one of their second round picks, if Calloway steps up, the WR room is going to be loaded. |

If he's gets head together...he could be a good get. He has the potential to be better than anyone they could get in the late 2nd. I remember him being compared to Percy Harvin when he was drafted...Dorsey was trying to find his next talented problem child that dropped in the draft...he was a 1st round talent with baggage. He flamed out..but if he cant get his shit together with Reid/Mahomes on a SB roster..there is no hope for him. Veach brought him up in his presser...I think a lot of people forgot KC signed him to a futures contract. I guarantee you he knew about him in college...he was a scout back then. |

Yep
JJ was special but its such a risk now. I have confidence Veach can find us a younger guy in free agency and the draft to replace Sammy. This being said if Brett and Andy sign off on it then go for it. They have been right more than wrong. |
