gotta say, I understand other receivers are making more money than him, but he's the one who signed a 6 year deal, with 3 left to play/pay.

However, a little surprised how many Falcons fans are turning on Julio.

 

Exactly. What if half way through his next one, others surpass him yet again. Will he hold out again? At least play out the contract until there's 1 year left.

All they have to do is give him an incentive laden deal for the year. If he goes all pro or the Falcons win the Superbowl he gets millions more. 1500 yards a million more. 125 catches- Cha ching... If the player is that good you got a deal and you can tell the rest of the team that if they put up top numbers like Julio each year then they can get some incentives too.

What if he gets career ending injury?

Source: Julio Jones wants a 3 year, 28 million per year average contact.

This will be the downfall if this league. 

They can't continue to pay out these outrageous individual contracts, and the teams paying them out, remain competitive. 

Julio Jones is a fantastic receiver, but no single receiver is worth that much money. 

A salery cap via position has to be looked at, or just do away with the salery cap all together.

The salary cap is what makes the league perennially competitive.  The NFL would be a whole lot worse without it.

They have Sanu and Ridley. They're not hurting for targets to throw to. Julio is one of the best, but like you said, no receiver is worth that. 

 

Too many players on a team to give gigantic deals to after a couple good years. Teams and agents play fast and loose with the numbers because they know careers are 8-10 years long if you're lucky. Sign a 6 year deal, better be happy with the contract. You can't demand more money because the franchise qb has a big contract now. Restructure it to add incentives or gtfo. Only way to go about it.

This will set precedent one way or the other. Owners need to have the control in these situations some of the time, and this is one of those times. Imagine any player on this team pulling this. This board would turn on him real quick.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
