We are losers for getting excited about this.

Well I'm not excited at all since the falcons ARE NOT giving him an extension, lol, I'd be excited if they were b/c it'd be stupid move.

I agree 100%... It's ridiculous how they sign these contracts then want more. Every contract should have in it mandatory that if there's a holdout before contract is complete, they forfit money for the entire year. Non negotiable. So fuging sick of this poo every year now, you sign a fuging contract... Honor it. If you think you deserve more, ask for more at signing, not halfway through when you see other getting paid more then you.

Agree with your point.

I think the other side is that half way thru the contract the team can tell you the contract is no longer valid and can cut you.  The player knows that when he signed it but I believe there is a sense of urgency due to the length of a career and all. 

Just hoping Julio creates enough drama to keep me entertained thru the start of training camp.

At the time he signed his 6 year deal he was the highest paid WR in the league. (according to NFL Network) Now 3 years after that deal he's not.  

I believe he is so naive about the whole situation.   If Atlanta would give him the 20+ million he is asking for than he just raised the bar for the whole field.  Soon someone as good or better is going to want more than that.  Next thing you know marginal players will be getting 10+ million.  Atlanta would have nearly 1/3 of their entire salary cap between two players. 

Jones is greedy and doesn't see the business side of things.

We don't need to hear the B.S. well I am only trying to take care of my family.   That is the worst comment any of the major sports player can say.   I would happily take the vet minimum for an annual salary.

Jones actually is a 1/3 of there offense though. Take him away and Ryan throws at least 20 picks a season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
