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.

He's worth it.
Not at $15+ million a year. Watkins has scared me off from overpaying a WR who struggles to see the field due to constant injuries.

The dude is used up. There’s nothing left. Once the injuries start with a 32+ we they just keep coming. It’s not going to get better. Yet people want to trade first and second round picks? Yeesh.

Palmer?

Well, it appears the Chargers reached for him in the 3rd. He was a 4th or 5th rd selection.

It’s a fun idea for 2021 but I think it’s probably the wrong move and puts way too many eggs into the 2021 basket, while taking some from ‘22 and beyond.

He’s a HOFer but he is 32 and the nagging injuries are real. He’s not gonna ever be what he was.

I mean I definitely want him.

You're probably right though that we don't need him.

We've already got contract issues with Clark and Hitchens that need to be solved after this season. No reason to take on a $15M cap hit for a guy that might not even play the entire season.

If it were just the money or just the picks? Sure.

Both?

I think Larry Fitzgerald is fair comp. From 32-34 years of age Larry still caught 100 balls a year. If they can do something with the salary cap hit I'm all in.
