If Julio is traded...

ATL silly to get rid of Julio !! Only reason they are in cap hell and need more help!! Not everyone has the tom Brady luxury discount cuz his wife makes more money than him!!

Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are the reason they are in cap hell. 

Julio's cap hit is 23m and he has averaged 12.5 games a year over the course of his career. He is also 32 years old. I do not see teams lining up to trade for that. He is 20th all time in yards and way down the list in all time TDs, he is getting paid like a HoF'er and he is not one. 

Ryans cap hit is even worse, even after a restructure. His cap hit is 26m. He is 34, a middling qb, being paid like a top 5 qb. 

The falcons allowed these players to sign these asinine contracts and now it is biting them in the ass.

NBC Sports Boston's Michael Holley reports Julio Jones wants to play for the Patriots.

"You know who (Jones) really wants to play with? He wants to play with Cam Newton," Holley reported on Boston Sports Tonight. Jones also reportedly thinks Falcons QB Matt Ryan has "lost a little on his deep ball." 

Who here wants to tell Julio?

Should be a fun 6 games for the two of them and I'm sure Jones will love those ducks getting lobbed to him

The Athletic actually took a look at what some of the teams that have been speculated to be interested might trade for him.

The proposed offers weren't as great as you might think.

I'd honestly be surprised if the offers were huge. He's still a 32 year old WR.

We have to be the only franchise that hates the best player in our History so damn much. 
 

But hey we know what that’s about don’t we. If Cam Newton looked like The Golden Calf of Bristol y’all would be demanding statues be built. Instead y’all hate that players actually want to play with him.

Who hates Cam? He is my favorite Panther. I just don’t have an issue moving on from him because his price wasn’t equivalent to what was left of his ability. I believe he was due $20 million when we let him walk after not being able to stay healthy for the previous 3 years. Cam was one of the most important, exciting players in franchise history and we did him a disservice by never getting him a decent line and running him into the ground. The good news for us is the Owner/GM/Staff that failed him is no longer with this organization.

Just because my life doesn't revolve around a former player for my local football team doesn't mean I hate him.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
