Chiefs would have a Madden Ultimate Team in real life on offense if Jones was traded to KC.
ATL should do Jones a solid and trade him to us....his career has been a total waste on that franchise...a shame. |

Jones actually missed more games in 2013 than he did last year. He's actually had hamstring, foot, and ankle issues multiple times over his career. I don't know how much stock you put into this type of analysis but I've found Sports Injury Predictor to be reasonably reliable at predicting injury outcomes for players. They nailed the results of the Dee Ford trade to SF. https://sportsinjurypredictor.com/pl...lio-jones/4692 They have Julio Jones with a 94% of missing a game due to injury and the over/under at 2.4 games. He's considered a "high risk" player. |

We are in the unique position of being set up to win now AND in the future, which is pretty rare. Each year we'll have to play a delicate game of calculated risks to ensure that we did enough to get to the mountain-top without mortgaging our future ability to sustain. This is one of those moves that, if they're comfortable, could be slam dunk for '21 & '22 SB runs. |

I'd really rather restock the position in the draft, and let those players grow into roles.

I think a 2022 3rd rounder is the most I can give for him given the cap, age, injuries.
And that’s IF you don’t draft a WR in R2. |

Just a matter of the price of said risk. I think we're in a position to spend a 2nd rounder (I guess next year is the only option, based on his June contract date), and shoulder his contract, for Julio mf'n Jones. |

I look at it this way:
The reason we lost the SB was the offensive line. Both OT's were injured, and with both being over 30 with back problems it made sense to move on. We haven't had peak Sammy since SB 54. We still won 16 games without him. We fixed the offensive line, and it looks MUCH more talented and MUCH deeper than last season, so it shouldn't be a weakness any longer. (I'd argue that it's been mediocre since Morse started missing time.) We've got about 3 more seasons I think of Hill and Kelce at combined peak powers. The defense got a lot better with Reed. Gay, Sneed are ascending. I'm less worried about 2021 than 2022 and 2023. Give me a Dyami Brown or Amon-Ra St. Brown, and start restocking the weaponry. They'll get some packages and work in this season, but really show out in '22 and '23. |

51 passes in 7 games = 7.28 catches/game = IF HEALTHY, 117 catches/16 games
771 yards in 7 games = 110 yards/game = IF HEALTHY, 1,760 yards/16 games 3 TD's in 7 games = .42 TD's/game = IF HEALTHY, 6.72 TD's/16 games. Would he play 16 games? That's the whole entire question. But I wouldn't say he's washed. Put him in this offense though, even as a decoy, the impact he would have on the offense and the pressure it would put on a defense would be insane. Just a matter of if it's worth whatever the price is. |

We would need to find 5M in space and money for our draft class...

I'm not sure there is anything worse than getting older at WR
