An optimistic approach: It is unlikely, but possible they trade him. He would have to commit to a long holdout and force Atlanta's hand. He has multiple years left on his deal and he just watched guys like Sammy Watkins get $16 mil/yr. Julio averages around $14mil/yr. (I don't know exactly how it's paid out.) This is not exactly a Jason Peters situation, but they share the concept of ownership not extending the contract with multiple years left in the deal. The Falcons also drafted Calvin Ridley in the first round this year. We have the cap space, who knows what the asking price would be.

Any Syracuse fans have a thought on Steve Ishmael in the later rounds? I thought he was a man amongst boys in many games I watched. He seemed to get a bunch of Offensive Pass Interference called on him, but only because he was so much more physical than the DB's he faced. He didn't get a combine invite, which doesn't see right after a monster senior year. He showed up against big time talent. 11 catches against LSU, 12 against Florida State, 6 for 70 yds and a score in the Clemson upset. A Syracuse diehard might have a better take on him. http://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/3123992/steve-ishmael

I'd like a spot, if possible. Coming from Albany area, also with a Raiders fan unfortunately.
