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.

We saved money letting him go but I would have liked him to stay another year as a backup.

Meanwhile Andrew Wylie is still here....hopefully not past August
He was ****ing terrible in 2020 except the playoffs/SB. I mean Larry Johnson DGAF years bad, just running into the backs of linemen. And i get it hes not a back with great vision and shit but he wasnt good in the regular season. Then they got Clyde, and Damien gave them a chance to get out.

He was a serviceable backup, he wasn't horrible at all. His numbers weren't all that far off of Hunt's either...

"Back up". Now we have a starter caliber guy and another Williams as a back up. They kept the cheaper back up. It's not really a head scratcher.

FWIW I would prefer to pursue Thomas Jones at this point than Todd Gurley.

Damien is a far superior back to Darrell.

Damien Williams was due to make $2M in 2020 before opting out.

Darrell made $1M last year.

Really not that much of a price difference and I'm not sure what you're getting at about health differences. Darrell has missed games due to injury as well.

Reading is hard so I’ll dumb it down:

Signing Todd Gurley as a backup on a cheap salary is a realistic move

Trading a high draft pick for a 32 year old Julio Jones with a huge salary to be a starter is ****ing reeruned

The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for 2022, per source.

Julio Jones,

No need to dumb it down pal. There is a good reason why signing Todd Gurley is a "realistic move". Anyway, back to Julio.

Darrel had a broken bone, Damien has had other "knick" injuries. And Andy made a comment in 19 that he needs to push through or something to that effect. It makes me think that maybe Damien is injured for small stuff more than they like or for longer.

Damien Williams had never been available for all 16 regular season games in his entire career.
