Jackson will be on Ridley and Horn on Pitts.

We are going to put our top corner on a TE?  Id wager we see Horn absolutely erase Ridley.  Jackson/Bouye handle the Gage/Sharpe.  

That leaves Pitts to take on?  uh-huh. Mr Sweet Chinn Music himself.

I think we've got plenty of answers for Matt Ryan's gang of skid marks.

Oh and they have a new center.  Matty Lice loves to fumble snaps and from shotgun.  Interesting note to watch.

Some details courtesy of Albert Breer...

- The Falcons relationship with Jones had been "strained" for years due to contract disputes

- The Ravens had been interested a while back, but dropped out after drafting a receiver

- Atlanta attempted to trade him during the draft, but nobody wanted to pay the price they were asking

- Just as many people thought, Jones didn't know he was on the air when he was talking to Shannon Sharpe

- A number of teams were interested as the calendar approached June, but interest fizzled in most places

- Despite prior claims, nobody ever actually offered a first round pick

- Also despite some speculation, the Patriots were never interested

- The Titans original offer was a conditional third that could be upgraded to a second, but they ultimately moved up as well as agreeing to take on Jones' pay for this season

Full story here: MMQB for 6/7/21

When the falcons traded up for Jones, I thought they waay overpaid. 100% false, Jones ended up being one of the best WR in NFL history. He had abnormal size and skills for WR, moved like a fast twitchy 5'9 slot but was a real 6'3 230 LBs....He also overcame foot issues that I thought were going end his career in the middle. Hamstring last year and hes on the end of a elite career, still a threat tho.

He is not a top 10 all time WR. I think that is what the falcons thought they were getting. 

Smitty has more yards and TDs and we dont even know if he is going to the HoF.

Y’all heard it first from me. Said it all along, Julio to Tenn. 

The whole world was saying Julio to Tennessee, but you are so wise! You’re like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair!

A second is good value for a player of his share coming off injuries.

Exactly. The Falcons will receive a 2022 second-round pick and 2023 fourth-rounder. The Titans reportedly will also get a 2023 sixth-round pick in the trade.

Julio Jones is absolutely in the conversation for Top-10 All-Time WR.

That is laughable.  20th all time in yards, tied for 88th all time in receiving TDs. 

He is far from top 10 all time.

18th all time in yards AND HE’S STILL PLAYING AND ELITE.

You can have Henry Ellard, Chris Carter, James Lofton, Tim Brown, Isaac Bruce, etc.  All great careers.  I’ll take Julio Jones.  And again, those guys played a long time...Julio will too.

Julio is already breaking down and he is 32, its not like he has been the poster boy for staying healthy. He has 2-3 years of good production left, not really enough to jump into top 10 all time.

Oh you are taking out the TE's to make him look better?

Are you an undercover Falcons fan?

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, when you draft a guy you have to understand and realize you're going to be giving him a contract commensurate with that draft position. It is what it is. If you don't want to do that for anyone on the board, trade down. Hell, pull a Vikings and sit on your ass and let the time run out and the next team up pick. LOL! But don't draft the guy and then think you're going to get away with some contract shenanigans. Hell, his agent can't allow it looking out for his own interests. If Stewart was willing to sign a deal wildly out of step with the norm on a bad way his agent would probably tell him he's got a walk. If I want to sign future 1st round draft prospects I can't be a part of this.

      Yea, I don't know why they are insisting this new clause to be be included. (well its money, its always money). Just the issue, or one of the big issues, is no other team is doing it. They are trying to start a trend..... guess what the team picked right after and before stewart didn't not have this clause in the contract and they have already signed. They totally look like the bad guy in all this and like I posted before, their rep is awful among agents.  Mike Brown uses his daughter negotiate contracts cause she took law courses. Look it up, many say if she is doing that, she is the GM... I bet you can not guess who the GM is....... save you some time, there isn't one.... so maybe it is the daughter....

      TIME TO SPECULATE

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Eh, I can see where you're coming from, but at the same time, unless the new jerseys were just god awful ugly, how many people would just cancel their order at that point? Those people, like myself, bought it because they wanted T-Mac's jersey, not because they loved the current uniforms and just wanted one. But I kinda hope they do give us new uniforms next offseason, just like with Cam, so this version of T-Mac's jersey will always be his "rookie jersey" which would be pretty neat.  It was pretty well known at the time that we were getting new jersey's that next season so I waited to get my Cam until then and got an Authentic one, which is great, but I do still kinda regret not having a Cam rookie jersey in my collection.
