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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
