The Atlanta Falcons and Julio Jones appear on the verge of a split. When the team drafted tight end Kyle Pitts with the No. 4 overall pick instead of taking a quarterback, it seemed they were all in on winning this season. The Pitts pick now looks like the team just couldn’t pass on his talent, but are still keeping their eye on the future, as reports surface that the team wants to move their future Hall of Fame wide receiver. Jones requested a trade a couple months ago according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Falcons also said, “would like to trade” Jones according to The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz. They surely want to get as much as possible for their star wide out, and likely told prospective trade partners that they are very willing to keep him another season. But, now that Jones has requested a trade and said on record about his time in Atlanta, “I’m out of there,” they likely don’t have as much leverage. He also says that he wants to go to a winning team, which could narrow the trade partners down. There are plenty of possibilities out there of teams that could use someone of Jones’ caliber to take a big step toward a Super Bowl win. Rumors will be flying, but at this moment there really is no frontrunner for his 2021 services.

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. According to The Athletic's Jeff Schultz, the Ravens, 49ers, Patriots, Colts and Chargers are among possible teams that could land Jones. According to Breer, a second-round could end up as the eventual compensation for the star wideout

Especially in a whirl wind.

Gas shortage? No problem, just fill up several plastic bags with gas.

Thanks Harbingers for the informative heads up.

Thanks citfcfantv for the heads up.

Exactly. I don't look for Ian Thompson to make the 2021 Panthers team.

Exactly. Let's hope.

Thanks for the heads up ladypanther. The NFL Network Feature should be interesting and hopefully informative as well. I will try to watch and record it

▪ Running back: Keep Four > Christian McCaffrey, Chuba Hubbard, Reggie Bonnafon, Trenton Cannon. Place Rodney Smith on the Practice Squad. ▪ Fullback: > Tremble FB/TE One of these will be cut and one placed on the practice squad. Mikey Daniel, Mason Stokke,

One area where Taylor particularly thrives is press coverage on the outside. This was an obvious problem for the Panthers in 2020 and something defensive coordinator Phil Snow went away from entirely at critical moments. Adding Bouye, Taylor, and Horn to go with Jackson should instantly transform this.

With one week until the 2021 NFL Draft, everyone was still is waiting on pins and needles to get a whiff of what the 49ers were planning on doing with the No. 3 pick. Alabama quarterback Mac Jones has been seen as the favorite ever since the 49ers made the trade to acquire the pick. However, a lot of NFL executives were in lockstep with those who believed there was no way the 49ers surrendered that much draft capital for Jones, and had good reason to believe Shanahan and Lynch were not looking in that direction. "I don’t think there’s any way in hell they’re taking Mac Jones,” one executive told The MMQB's Albert Breer. “He’s not good enough. The Shanahan offense has worked with a multitude of types of quarterbacks,” the exec told Breer. “But it really flourished when it had a big athlete with a big arm like John Elway running it. I just think you’re moving up for the special athlete.”

The Patriots will eventually make the switch from Cam Newton to Mac Jones, the club's first-round selection in the 2021 Draft. That's inevitable given the lofty draft capital the organization has already put in for Jones. The big question, however, is when that switch will take place. The only person with even the slightest inkling of when he may pull the trigger on such a team-altering decision is Bill Belichick (and he may not know for sure yet).

I do remember Foxy saying, "it is what it is". Sigh!

At the peak of a veteran player's time playing, there's nothing a coach can tell him he doesn't already know. At that point the coach's job is to get the young players in the room to strive for that level of work ethic, dedication and technique. The veteran's job is no longer to obediently listen to everything the coach says, but show teammates that even at his level, he's still working to improve himself. It shouldn't be a surprise that established veterans take a dim view of new coaches who try to change a team's established culture or impose new unwritten rules, especially when they conflict with the old ones.

Yes, i was thinking the Panthers might retire that number to honor Clausen,who got us Cam Newton. :0

I plan on buying a # 2 DJ Moore jersey as soon as they are available.

This is one of the very best and most informative posts i have seen on the Huddle in a long time.

The Carolina Panthers have a lot to look forward to in 2021 and i am not buying into ESPN'S 25th power ranking for the team. They have a crop of impressive young talent, headlined by Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns, DJ Moore, Jeremy Chinn and Derrick Brown is preparing to take the next step in their football journeys. Their bountiful draft class is full of value and potential. Heck,even seeing what Sam Darnold can do in here in Carolina could be fun.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter In regards to @peter_kings report from last night about Atlanta listening on Julio Jones, and why it would be a post June 1 move: *If the Falcons trade him after June 1, they save $15 million against the cap. *If the Falcons trade him before June 1, it would be a $23M cap hit.

Cam Newton might not be able to hold Jones off for the whole season, but he likely gives the Patriots a better shot at winning early in the year. Jones will obviously have a fairly steep learning curve, much like every rookie and free agent to ever land in New England. I just don’t see Jones being under center Week 1.
