Until last year, he played through the injuries and that's why he hasn't missed games. It isn't because he hasn't been hurt. He's now 32 years old. It's a huge question mark if he still has the ability to play through all of the injuries. |

Larry is a first ballot hall of famer. But is he a better investment right now than giving our young receivers reps?

It's not going to happen, but it's fun to imagine this offense with Julio Jones as our third option. A lot more fun than imagining Fitz. Would you actually be upset if it happened? Larry had 7.6 YPR last year. Julio had 15.1. 7.6 is the lowest of any WR that Pro Football Reference even tracked last year. This is to say, they are not similar players at this point in their careers. I'm not sure, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we just drafted a TE? I'm interested in the ceiling of this offense. Love Fitz, but I just don't think he raises it the way Julio could. All that said, I understand your concerns about the cap and not wanting to risk a large cap hit on a guy who missed time last year. I don't see one season of unavailability due to injury to be a trend, but it could be the start of one. It is a risk. If you want low risk, low reward, you've found an alternative. |

And no, I wouldn't be upset. I'm past the point of being upset about roster moves. That being said, it's still a stupid idea. |

We just got rid of Sammie's contract. Let's not be in a hurry to overpay again for his replacement...

I'd be surprised if they make a play for a WR. This is Hardman's year. They gotta wanna know what they have in him as a full time starter, as his 2nd contract will be coming due soon.

He still had equal numbers to Julio...and will be a fraction of the cost. Honestly, I don't think we need either. Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, if we're gonna make a trade and bring on another big contract then call Minnesota and see if we can pry Hunter from them. I'd rather make that trade, have him take Frank's place next season and cut Frank. Regardless, we don't need Julio's contract or the price it's gonna cost to get Atlanta to let him go. |

For the money I'd take Mecole and Powell all day. There may be a vet that gets cut later or even take a flier on Fitz with a "win a ring" price tag.
