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

Tell that to the Cleveland Browns. Or any team in the Patriots division. 

I know exactly what the salery cap does. My age does grant me the wisdom to have seen the NFL. 

When receivers can get 20 + million a year, something is wrong.  The salery cap is imperfect. Not that I have hope that the owners and players can ever come to an agreement on a better version.

Hold out all you want Julio.  You seemed pretty happy about your deal 3 years ago.  

Man up, you signed a contract.  Honor your contract.   If you wanted more damn money than maybe your agent should have negotiated a three year deal instead of a 6 yr deal.

Ain't no GM paying 28 million for a WR just ain't happening.

I can't blame the team.    Julio is banged up all the time and it's starting to wear him down with all these nagging little injuries, much like Megatron.    The only thing I'd do if I was them if put a ton of incentives in but I wouldn't change it, not right now.

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

Really disappointed by how many people responded to this post and missed the whole thing... I know it’s the off-season but get it together people.

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?

Then he still is the 8th highest receiver in the NFL. $47 million of his contract is guaranteed. I think he'll be OK if there's an injury. 

It's easy to see both sides of this, he signed a good deal at the time, but the only receiver that MIGHT be better is Antonio Brown, who's making $17 million a year, but only got $19 million guaranteed.  Bottom line, ATL will find a couple million dollars laying around to make their best player happy.

      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.
