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.

Julio catching 10 yard slants from McCorkle seems like a waste of his talents

I put this in the Julio thread in the sub forum but it still applies:


54 catches, 409 yards, 1 TD. Making league minimum
51 catches, 771 yards, 3 TDs. Making 15 million.

That's Larry Fitzgerald (who would likely sign for league minimum in order to get a ring) vs Julio and his projected 2021 salary. Those numbers are their numbers this past year.

Which one sounds better? I'll add Larry has been a iron man in his career and at the same age Julio is right now Larry put up: 109 catches, 1215 yards, 9TDs on the way to all pro year....with the corpse of Carson Palmer throwing him the ball.

Easy choice imo. If we want a 2nd WR...sign Larry Legend.

It's entirely possible Jones is too. He's had hamstring and foot issues his entire career and they're finally causing him to miss games.

Julio doubled Fitz's YPC. You are comparing apple and oranges at this point.

If he's healthy. That's a big if at this point. Especially for draft picks and cap space we don't currently have.

At some point there isn’t enough targets to go around.

One has been healthy his entire career, one hasn't.

Performance don't matter at all if a guy is standing on the sidelines in street clothes.

The Chiefs have a big enough decision to make with extending Tyreek or not, let alone adding another expensive WR with Julio’s age and injuries.

This. Waste of $$$ and resources. If they wanna make a fancy trade, make one for edge. See what the vikings want for Danielle Hunter.

I get that but at the same time there's nothing wrong with making a defense pick and using who they leave open in this scenario.
