Julio Jones (June 6 Update - Traded to the Titans)

[ralmat55]

Assuming OTC hasn't missed something, 11 different teams could fit him under their current cap without any sort of redo. Adjustments/cuts might need to be made down the road in order to free up money to cover injury signings and the like, but that's not likely to be much of a problem to teams that have signed most of their draftees already.

Of all those teams, only the 49ers and Patriots have been connected to Jones.

Both could fit $15.3 million into their current cap space. But, neither team has signed their 1st round pick, accounted for player 52 and 53, added the cost of their practice squad, and the salaries of the inevitable injured players to their cap yet.

The teams connected to Jones that I’m aware of can’t absorb Jones’ $15.3 million when those bills come due which will require a restructure of Jones’ contract or the contracts of a bunch of other players to open the cap room.

I would be excited to have a Burner like Isabella here.
I feel we could maximize his strengths and would much rather have him than Meyers or Harry thoughts?

That's a strong possibility

Chargers, Browns, and Bengals have all been connected. Broncos were mentioned as an "if (Rodgers), then (Jones) on a TV morning show, though that seemed more like someone going random than actually having real info. And, as I said, the other teams (You mentioned 49ers and Patriots) can bring him in and then make adjustments in other ways, as needed, because the draft money isn't anything they can't handle.

That's a strong possibility

Haha

Came here hoping to hear some actual news about Julio Jones. Instead, I walked into a Golden Girls argument. I’m already sleepy enough. Time to change the channel.

I call bs on this one...

I call bs on this one...

I call BS because it's a trade, not a free agent. You do the trade first and then he comes to town for the physical and all that stuff.

Any direct contact between another team and Julio would be tampering and yeah everyone does it obviously but no one is dumb enough to go in person.

 

[Chevy]

What, are they sending Stid in the company sedan to pick up Julio at the airport?

The Falcons can allow other teams to contact him - which they probably have done - but that would be just for stuff involving a potential new deal. All that crap would be done over the phone with the agent. So yes, it would not involve a trip to Boston in person for JJ.

This doesn’t make much sense to me. Falcons would be dumb to send him to an NFC team, and the last thing Seattle needs is another WR when their defense is a joke.

 

[VectorPrime]

Seahawks don’t have a first until 2023.

 

[Ross12]

Seahawks don’t have a first until 2023.

"The Falcons want a 1st this year!", but yet also, "The Seahawks are in!" and also, "The Rams are in!" ... uh...

 

[Betterthanmost]

so where is he?

Maybe Julio is for Wilson what Sanu was for Brady? Coach Carroll attempting to make his disgruntled QB happy? Idk. We’ve all seen some **** that doesn’t make any sense in this league.

That’s possible, I’m sure Wilson would be happy not having to drop 30-40 a game cause of the defense being pathetic.

I think Wilson is more bothered by his OL being kind of **** and their defense being Swiss cheese.
