To make it a little more clear, they'd be taking away from both cap AND draft capital. The Chiefs need cheap contracts and the surest way to get GOOD players on cheap contracts is to draft them.

Thats basically what he was saying - Atlanta COULD do it but there's no upside for them in doing so, so they won't do it.

While the Orland Brown Junior trade was exactly the type of trade that Veach and the Chiefs need(ed) to make (young, talented, proven Pro Bowler at age 24), a Julio Jones trade would be the exact opposite. They'd need to give up valuable assets (draft picks) and screw up their cap by extending a player that shouldn't be extended while taking a chance on a 32 year old coming off of injury. The Chiefs just went 16-3 and lost in the Super Bowl because they were on their 4th left guard, 4th right guard, 4th right tackle and 2nd left tackle. They solved their offensive line woes and basically bring back the same team, minus a chronically injured wide receiver. This team doesn't need to go "All In" on an aging player while giving up draft capital while forcing them to make some unnecessary decisions towards the salary cap. But some people will just never get it. |

Julio Jones isn’t even the top player of the Falcons that I would want. Todd Gurley is a FA that is only 27 and got a contract last year for $5 million with 500k of incentives.
That was in April 2020. Getting him this summer is likely $3 million ish. Would love to have him as a rotational back |

I fail to see how Gurley would be any different than those two. In fact, he might be worse. Our running game is still going to boil down to Clyde and Darrell Williams. That's about it. Unless Darwin Thompson encountered a genie over the offseason and made the wish to not suck as a RB. |
