Jones trade talks heating up

I believe it is as well. I don't think anyone is giving up a 1st rounder for a 32 year old overpaid receiver. 

What will he realistically add to an offense? 800-1000 yards and 5 or 6 touchdowns for maybe 2 years if that?

He has scored 8 or more touchdowns 4 times over a ten year career and only started all 16 games 3 times.

Anything more than a late 2nd round pick is too much. I think a third is more likely. 

If a 3rd is all it takes for Julio, sign us up. He's worth that even at his salary. 

Its 50/50 he moves even if he wants to. Falcons can't really just throw him away for only a 2nd really, but that contract and age bit makes it tough to take him back for a 1st unless you really have room and the team to make a SB run.

Does he really move the needle for a super bowl run?

For the right team, definitely.

The Falcons likely don't feel that converting a portion of Jones' 2021 salary into signing bonus before a trade to lessen the cap hit for the acquiring team like the Panthers did with  Teddy Bridgewater is warranted given their own cap problems.

Obviously, teams could create cap room by restructuring contracts in order to be in position to handle Jones' 2021 salary.

Does Julio have a "no-trade" clause in his contract like Watson does?

(a useless clause for a player trying to bust out of their perceived jail...LOL)

A two second google shows he does not have a no trade clause.

An aging WR? No.

Absolutely. Especially for a team like GB, SF or Tenn.

I just don't see him as some great upgrade that a team must have. 

He would be a #1 for SF, but I am not sure they are a legitimate contender.

For GB or Tenn he would be a #2 so he might help them more with less coverage on him. 

I guess he will be nice to have between the 20s but he has never been dominate in the red zone, i dont see him putting any team over the top. 

Will he be a nice complimentary piece? Sure.

Ultimately ATL wants a 1st for him, i dont think they get that unless a team is desperate.

U going to say he should honor his contract as well?

Pretty much

They had been speculated as a possible trade destination, but from what I'm reading I think that's fallen by the wayside.
