I heard they are packaging him with Matt Ryan to GB for Aaron Rodgers and some draft capital!

My source is the Wino in downtown Charlotte mentioned in another thread!

Any chance that's the same homeless guy that told Jim Haslam to draft Johnny Manziel? 🤔

I don't blame Jones for finally wanting to get out of there. As much as I have hated to see him destroy Panthers defenses I have never heard a bad word about him as a man or a teammate. So this tomfoolery about him being a diva or that he shouldn't or doesn't have the right to do what he's doing is bullocks. Do you Julio fug the Falcons I'm enjoying this entertainment.

If I'm the falcons and saw his phone convo with Sharpe, I'd listen to where he wants to go and ship him somewhere else.

I'd heard that they were trying to be respectful of him and accommodate his wishes.

That call made it look like the respect didn't go both ways.

Julio is going to Tennessee. That is going to be nasty. 

The Titans might win the damn Super Bowl next year. They are going to be unstoppable on offense if they pair up Jones with AJ Brown and Derrick Henry.  YIKES!!

Jones is a 32 year old WR, but I could see them getting a 1st from a team that thinks he's the piece that puts them in the SB. I think the Ravens and Titans make the most sense in terms of their roster needs, their reasonable expectations of competing, and them being in the AFC. The Pats are the dark horse IMO. Belichick is pushing 70. He doesn't have a lot of years left.

It would make a LOT of sense for the Titans IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if the wheels start falling off of Henry soon. That running style takes its toll. There aren't many Jerome Bettis and Jamal Lewis types that last long-term running like that.

Even though Henry is only 27 and Jones is 32, they might be on similar career timelines.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
