A hamstring injury limited Jones to just nine games last season, though he still put up strong numbers when he was on the field. He caught 51 passes for 771 yards and three scores as the Falcons finished the year 4-12. From 2014-19, Jones missed only four games and averaged 104 catches and 1,564 yards per season.

According to The Athletic's Jeff Schultz, the Ravens, 49ers, Patriots, Colts and Chargers are among possible teams that could land Jones. 

According to Breer, a second-round could end up as the eventual compensation for the star wideout

That sounds about right to me. If Julio was 27-28, I wouldn't think twice about giving up a #1 pick for him if were the final piece for title contending team. 

1st rounders get four years plus the fifth year option. I doubt you'd find a receiver coming out of college who would be "more productive" than Jones was from age 27-32.

Players are playing longer these days, but Jones is on the other side of 30 and last year's injury plagued season could be a sign of things to come. Still, I doubt any second round player is going to have as much impact on offense than a healthy Jones over the next couple of seasons. A team that is one or two playmakers away from contending should consider adding him if they have a competent QB and the cap space to sign him.

That’s not really true. He gave up $10M in salary for 2021 and all of his salary in 2022. While we paid $7M of the guaranteed money and the Broncos paid $3M of the guaranteed money, Teddy agreed to a total of $11.5M salary for 2021 instead of $21M. The Broncos didn’t have to pay him much of his non-guaranteed money, just $1.5M. Teddy is forgoing almost $10M in his original deal for 2021 and has no contract past 2021.

FYI: That's been explained to him before.

There are only eight NFL teams that have enough cap room to trade for Jones without making any other moves. The Jaguars, Jets, Broncos, Bengals, Lions, Chargers, 49ers and Browns could absorb his $15.3 million salary for 2021.

This wasn't just poor form, it was potentially unlawful. Lots of states have laws on the books that for conversations to be recorded requires knowledge of all parties involved. Connecticut (where ESPN is headquartered and presumably where Sharpe was) is one of those states.

I think it’s filmed in LA, but California is also a two party consent state.  If Julio wanted to he could actually pursue this and it’s literally caught on film.  Open and shut case.  I doubt he will, but damn.  Pretty sleazy by Sharpe.

Yea it looked like Shannon realized that as well... which is why he cut the call short. Bad form. 

Right. Prob didn’t think Julio would answer. Julio was going to say more about Dallas it seemed like, when Shannon told him “you’re good” or “that’s fine” and ended the call after only a minute and a half

    • Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.
    • I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through  
    • I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
