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.

      Panthers post game. Thomas Davis and J Stew

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      The receivers got little separation, the receivers also ran wrong  routes in the same area at least once and of course xL being his usual self.   the oline was not top notch, in either run or pass pro the defense had moments  their stats ion 3rd down, really bad and stupid penalties   The defense had 4 chances at turnovers and missed them all  the offensive game  plan and its execution was as flawed as always  and did not work the middle of the field and per Jonathan Stewart, that is how to attack that seattle defense .   add it all up, they weren't winning that game particularly with Bryce as the leader of that orchestra offensively  the problem is it has to be perfect for Young  and he has to have short  fields   That is mot going to happen consistently  I dont know what the future holds for this team but i just do not see the play calling and execution from that offense with the canales idzik young marriage  being productive against better coaches and teams  a whole lot of draft choices and money  spent  on the offensive side of the ball   It is not working out and had Dowdle not been super man in games 5 and 6, no chance on this season  I hope they win  sunday and make the playoffs  it is good thing for many reasons  it will also be a spotlight…either young can play in big  moments or he cant, same for Canales and the rest of the players

      Dude you wanted him with with #6 overall lol. Yes he's obviously better than Corral, I'd 1000% take him over brycey....   And I'd love to see us aquire him or Sam Howell in the offseason.
