Add that up with his contract situation makes it all the more possible. I still think the odds are low but is not on the same line as Brady or Rodgers being traded. Because of this I do this there is some level of truth to this story. I'm sure every team in the league that has top level players in the last year of their contract gets calls from other teams about said player. Team probably always says sure for a kings ransom. Likely too as time goes on time goes on, the number of picks drops off that team can get. Think if by the start of training camp he's not signed, wouldn't rule out a trade with some one. I don't follow things that close would Lawson be a good match for the Atlanta defense. Throw him in next years #1 and 3. Seems when trades for a player in the NFL are made, teams rarely get back the value you'd think they should get in return. Edited June 23, 2018 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch 1

He and Benjamin would make one of the better tandems in the league and Julio probably has at least 5 more years of All Pro caliber play in him. that is what i was thinking .. nice combo, when i started the post i wasnt trying to win "post or scoop of the year", just thought it was discussion worthy
PromoTheRobot Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I can't see McBeane making a shortcut move like trading for JJ. They are building a team organically.

Then there is the money Julio will want. All things considered, I don't see how he'll live up to the trade deal and contract, even as good as he is. 2

Agree you could do the contract such that has a low 1st year base salary with a decent size signing bonus and a 2nd year has a large base salary and maybe even a 2nd bonus 1

Beast Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 The Falcons are a SB contender. That would make as much sense as the Bills trading Reed in the early 90’s.

Marv's Neighbor Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 As the lyric in Proud Mary goes; "you don't have to worry, cuz you got no money!" The other half is; who's going to throw to him?
HappyDays Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 This isn't the first time I've seen a Julio trade rumor FWIW. And yes I would do what it takes to get him including giving up our 2019 1st. There are maybe 5 WRs in the NFL that I would give a monster contract to and Julio is one of them. The downside is we'd lose out on a top pass rusher in the draft next year but our defense has enough talent. An offense with Shady and Julio would be potent no matter who the QB is.

The Bills have $17.6M in space now ($11M more than Atlanta) and the third lowest obligations in the league in 2019. That said, Atlanta isn’t trading him.

The deal contains $47 million guaranteed, including a $12 million signing bonus. Jones' $11.5 million 2017 salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 11, 2016. 2018: $10.5 million, 2019: $12.5 million, 2020: $11.426 million, 2021: Free Agent

Julio is AT LEAST a 1st and then some. I would not have give a 1st for Cooks, but we don't feel we are close to being a super bowl team. The Rams are close and must feel he will take them over the hump(not Watkins). Julio is a monster, when healthy but we are not close to being a super bowl team and Julio has at least one bad foot. Not good for a wr who just turned 29 yrs old. By the time we're ready he'll be 31-32 ys ols ans that would be toooo much cash for an older wr with a bad foot. Jmo 1 1
Robert James Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Strikes me as more of a Whaley move; definitely not a Beane move. And even Whaley would have needed to believe he had his QB in place (as he did with EJ) before spending that kind of money.
GymShorts84 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 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.
