He’s pushing for a raise. He’s relatively underpaid. Sounds like the falcons are prepared to do it for him, and he has their blessings for skipping OTAs anyways.  He’s training, but elsewhere.

 

biggest non issue of all the non issues right now.

 

hope the falcons end up overpaying him.

Two blowout wins the last two times he didn’t play.

He wasn’t at OTA’s last year either.  Doesn’t mean much. 

Over 16 game span, you take away Julio Jones from the falcons they will struggle.

not sure why anyone would argue against this.... He is literally 40% of the offense. He isn't there because he wants a pay raise. He actually said it to the franchise.

Last year it was due to staying healthy.

interesting situation.  He's making over 10 mill a year and is signed for 4 more years iirc  and wants more money.  He's pretty much a bargain at that deal, and seeing other wr's (and even his QB) getting mega deals is eating at him.

Falcons have him under contract though, and they just used a first on a WR.

Might be fun to watch how this plays out.

Oh he’s a huge part of the offense for sure...still don’t believe the Falcons would have a bottom offense without him right now.

I saw the tweet from Ian but it certainly did not say he told that to the franchise. 

He is reportedly looking for a "correction or update" to his current deal.

I assume the quotations means he or his agent said this, right?

I think he needs to ink this deal before Ridley laces up some cleats, because that percentage is bound to go down.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
