What if he gets career ending injury?

Then he doesn't get paid the incentives. Look he can't hold out for 3 years so he is going to play on his current contract. The question is whether the Falcons can sweeten the pot without encouraging everyone to start holding out.

No, not really.

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.

Julio is a great receiver, top 2 in the league....but this is some bush league poo. Of all the years to pull this, you wait till you scored a grand total of 3 TDs. We always re-up our guys 1 year before they're due, not half way into a contract. You guys want to throw 2 #1's our way? I'd probably settle for a 1st and 3rd.

You can keep him.  I hope your team gives him a big fat raise and cripples your cap but I suppose they will work something out.  Third leg Greg pulled something similar recently although he didn't hold out he got himself a nice raise with two years left on his contract.  It happens.

Players have been holding out for years. This isn't new, it's just a lot of fun because it's Julio and the Failclowns.

An argument can be made that Julio signed the contract, so he should honor it and take the money he agreed to. The flipside to that is teams terminate contracts early all the time. It's just part of the game. Julio is worth much more than his current contract is paying him. Don't blink Julio!

      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.
