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.

Maybe a reverse Tony G trade?

I’d imagine they would prefer to send him to the AFC. I wonder what compensation would look like for him.

At some point we have to worry about the cap. I realize Brat Wurst is a wizard and all that, but there has to be a limit to his powers.

As a 1 or maybe 2 year rental though....we'd be tough to beat.

Hard to say what the compensation would be on this one.

He’s 32 and missed time last year due to injury. Prior to that though, he only missed 4 games over the previous 6 seasons.

Obviously, he’s one of the best ever. He’s a freak athlete, so as he declines with age he’ll still be very athletic.

I think Veach should make an offer for whatever he thinks Julio is worth at this age, and see what happens. I wouldn’t break the bank for him though. Julio is a luxury, but we’ll be fine with a WR in the draft since we have Kelce and Hill.

That’s where I’m at. I trust Veach regardless.

If we do it, I’d be fine with giving up either 58 or 63 this year and keeping our picks for next year.

While I wouldn't be against it, I would only do it if we don't give up too much and Jones is willing to play for less. He's not the same player he was when he was 27 nor should we pay him like he is.

Jones, Reek and Travis would have a case of being the best pass catching trio EVER to play together in this league surely??? Would be totally unfair . Next year there's a chance we could get an extra 3rd if EB finally gets hired so giving up a second or third could be easy for Veach tbh.

Wouldn't involve any picks this year since the Falcons can't actually trade him until after June 1st.
