We are losers for getting excited about this. 

 

the karma will roll back to us

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I think the other side is that half way thru the contract the team can tell you the contract is no longer valid and can cut you.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.

    • THIS PERIOD IS WERE WE FIND OUT IF THE ROLL OVER AND DIE or if they NUT UP AND WIN THE GAME and make this a series...  And i for one think a lot of this is mental WINNING one here will be a HUGE CONFIDENCE BOOST. And florida is getting worn down you can see it.
    • Eh idk about this. He’s a 100 point player in the toughest market in hockey. Not to mention, guys seem to play more freely once they leave Toronto. I’d be willing to bet that Marner could unlock Svechnikov. I’d go hard after both Marner and Bennett in the offseason.
    • I’m not going to sit here and say he played “amazing” in this game against the Eagles, but you’re selling this performance short. Stats do not tell the whole story here.  If Leggette doesn’t drop that late 32 yard pass, Bryce ends up with 223 yards and 2TDs and doesn’t end up with 2 additional incompletions after that drop trying to force things to the end zone at the end of the game. So that’s be 20-32 instead of 19-34, good for a 62.5% completion percentage. His YOA would be 6.96 and his QB rating would have been 91.2. And the story everyone is talking about after the game is how Bryce led a game winning drive to beat one of the best teams in the league, the team we did not know at the time would become Super Bowl champions.  But none of that happened all because of an awful drop by Leggette, something totally out of Bryce’s control. Bryce played well that game.
