He's had two seasons where he missed a lot of games......his 3rd season and his 10th season........18 total.       In the other 8 seasons of his career he has missed a total of 7 games......

That perception that he's just a decoy when he's out there isn't reality though.    His production in the 9 games last year was on course for nearly 1400 yards.    That's elite per game production....

Lol I was just thinking a fair deal a 2nd and a WR who supposedly had a high upside and is cheap for them.

 

I know what you were thinking.  But Harry sucks.

He left Davis off his list of our receivers was the point.  
 

And bad analogy...today, based on current albums not their historical Librry, J Cole > Nas.  Although Nas has the substantially better career and discography, J Cole recent album drop is fire and smokes Nas last album drop.  

👀 Substantially better career and discography wins.  With all due respect to the new school.

That's where I'm at. Why not?

 

Or let the Chefs or Browns get him and add to their already stacked offenses.

You can’t worry about what the other teams  might or might not do , if bringing him in helps your team win AND it’s a fair deal then GO FOR IT . 
But to make a trade for a player because you don’t want some other team to get him just seems silly to me , 

And by the way I would love to have Julio on this team I think our offense/passing game would be unstoppable

McHammer has a better career than J Cole, doesn’t mean he’s currently putting out better music or is a better rapper than J Cole.  Just saying...

 

J Cole latest album > Nas last album.  That’s all I was saying.

There’s no way the Chiefs trade for Julio.  They had to do financial gymnastics already to get to $8.3 mil. Under the cap, and teams typically want at least $3 mil. for emergencies in the season which are inevitable.  Player x gets hurt and we have to pick someone up.  If you don’t, you have to cut someone to add someone or more than one.

 

Its a,so why we won’t get involved when we have a deep core if WR’s.  I can see the Browns, Pats, Colts, or Chargers as they are close, may think it’s worth it, and are willing to go for it for a big boost.  Julio no matter how much he gripes has no say in the matter.  He doesn’t have a no trade clause so if Jax with $38 mil. available (#1 in space) makes the best offer, the Falcons are going to take it.  He can moan all he wants.  The best thing other than a pin o line for a rookie QB with talent is having a true experienced #1 wr for Lawrence to count on in games.

 

I actually think it would be hilarious he is moved to crap team who wants a boost like Jax.  What matters is how much does ATL eat in Jones contract to save on the rest.

MC Hammer is a great performer/entertainer.  Would not put him on any best rapper list.  Not even a hypothetical one...   But your point is taken.

The only reason to question whether the Jags would be interested is because they have Tebow now, and there are only so many balls to go around.  :)

 

The team who goes for him is going to need cap space and/or have the Falcons pay a chunk of his salary to have him play elsewhere. It would be a nice addition for Lawrence, and too bad if Julio doesn’t like it. I would just hope he’d be above a “tweaked hammy” for a big chunk of the season. It happens at his age, and this is where you need to know the person.

Totally agree with you, but to clarify didn’t say “best rapper” said best career given Hammer was one of the biggest stars in all of entertainment at his peak.
 

Funny side note...McHammer actually lives next door to my Uncle in Tracy, Ca.  Well like 4 doors down actually lol.  Supposedly a pretty good dude.

If the Bills bring in Jones, they’d have to give him a new deal. Then, if they did that, they’d DAMN sure have to give Diggs a new deal, too. Between those two guys, Beasley, and Sanders, they’d be shelling out a TON of money on the WR position, to say nothing of all the draft capital that would be invested in it, too.

 

I’m not denying that it would be a fun offense to watch, I’m just saying that it’s not very realistic and likely not very responsible.

I think it could be done.  Are you going to beat Mahomes playing ball control and defense?  Or go toe to toe?  The passing game is Buffalo biggest strength.  Why not super charge it?

I live In Baltimore and a friend of mine just told me that Julio Jones is looking at condos in the city this weekend.  
 

His neighbors wife is a realtor and called her husband this morning asking “who is Julio Jones?  Isn’t he a Falcon?”   He’s looking for something between 1-5 million.  
 

If I’m being lied to, I don’t know why.  I trust my friend, so unless his neighbor is playing a trick on him, it looks like Baltimore is a strong destination option for Jones.

He'd be a nice piece for them.  Between watkins, brown, and now bateman - that'd be a pretty interesting group for the largely vertical roman passing attack.

I am NOT being a wiseass Bro, but is there really a condo in Baltimore worth 5 million dollars?

I have no idea.  That’s just what the original message to the realtor said.  If it’s a Condo in the Harbor, I could see something in the middle.  
 

I’d look it up, but I’m super lazy.

Hope he doesnt end up in Balt!  Been my fav non Bill since he was a rookie, and i think hed be a total waste there.  I guess its better than Indy or NE.  Now im kinda hoping he magically stays put, but very unlikely. Bummer

I saw the same article.  Who knows?  It’s taking so long, there’s clearly a lot of false smoke 

Can't find anything on this or bring up the article itself. Debunked? 

 

On the condo search I think its very possible the search could be happening in more then one city IMO.

 

Also be fairly easy to steer people in the wrong direction just by calling a realtor and pretending to be someone you are not IMO.

 

Jones and Diggs = Championship

 

Something I'm sure Diggs is very aware of IMO.

 

Get er done Beane man...

Nothing would be surprising at this point. How bout Darryl Williams for Julio Jones. Have Brown be the right tackle and Doyle be the swing tackle. Both teams could financially swing this deal after the Diggs restructure. Atlanta gets a starting Tackle back. Bills have maybe the best Wide Receiver group in the history of the NFL. And a guy that can chuck it to every spot on the field.

So that portends what for the rumored Patriots, Ravens, Titans etc.,

 

Im sure Julio dreams about running under deep balls from broken down Cam, wobbly ball Lamar or Tannehill. 
 

I could still see Titans, but I don’t know that Tannehill is synonymous with big armed QB.  
 

Seahawks and Bills probably make the most sense.  Although I’d be shocked if we’re involved in this.
