Julio is not going to get a raise.
Seems all the reports are saying Seattle or Titans are the best fits for Julio
I would think we offer the best situation for him
Titans - Brown/Julio, Reynolds, rookies, depth guys
Seattle - Metcalf, Lockett, Jones, rookie, depth guys
Add in Brown and Henry pushing for him, Art Smith relationship and his knowledge of Titans players seems like an easier trade to get done

Wasn’t today supposed to be the day some decision was made? I just remember hearing some June deadline, could be wrong though.
It's after June 1st so the Falcons would save some money. That's about it.
The fact that Julio hasn’t been traded tells you that IF there was a 1st round on the table it had all manner of strings attached. Teams are just not willing to pay the Falcon’s perceived value. Well, he ain’t getting more valuable by waiting longer. At some point someone will blink and the risk is all on the receiving team not the Falcons.
It's after June 1 but could go into OTA's before signing rookies..I think it will heat up next week again..depends if Julio shows up at facility
ESPN host says Julio Jones could be traded as soon as today - SportsTalkATL.com
They might be the best landing spot for the All-Pro receiver, given the Eagles possess two first-round draft picks in 2022 and a conditional first-round pick from the Colts if Carson Wentz plays 75% of the snaps or plays 70% of the snaps in 2021 and the Colts make the playoffs.
They have plenty of ammo to make this trade.

Somebody on MCM said the Eagles are the team that offered a 1st. They did not name a source.
Henry last year was what Haynesworth was in 2008. Made everyone else better. The defense was in 08 was "elite" because of him. Our offense last year was "elite" because of Henry. AJ's hamstring worries me and Julio could actually be another player that defenses will fear.
"Hey yo Art, Jrob here. Look man, here's our terms. They work for dangermode, so they should work for you."
Just playing, the logic is sound with your post.
Folks, Art isn't in a HC and GM role, just HC. Atlanta has a GM and he couldn't care less about the Art and Titans connection.
I guess you are agreeing with me. It’s usually one player that causes the offense or defense to go.
The 2008 Titans were a damn good football team.
What gives us an advantage of the Eagles and Seahawks is that we're in the AFC. People have said that the Falcons prefer to trade him to a team outside of their conference.
Also, I think the report that someone offered a 1st is bogus. They would have already taken it by not. Unless it was a 1st for Julio and a 2nd and ATL pays 75% of his contract or something, which they would never consider in the 1st place.

I bet the future 1st rounder offer had the Falcons eating a portion of Julios salary.

And probably having to dish out a lower round too. I would give our first for Julio if the Falcons had to give us a 2nd too. It ain’t gonna happen though. But, if the Falcons are not budging off a 1st, then the pot will have to be sweetened.
I think it will end up being a second and Rashad Evens for Jones. With his contract a doubt they get a first rounder without giving anything back
I think it would have to be:
A) 1st for Julio with the Falcon paying at min half his cap hit this season.
B) 1st for Julio and a 3rd
C) 2nd and Rashad Evans for Julio.

The Falcons are trading Julio simply due to cap space. They're not going to trade for another player they will end up having to pay more money to. If the Titans agreed to pay Julio's $15 million salary, and the Falcons had to pay Rashaan's almost $4 million, that only clears $11 million for them. That's taking them backwards cap wise.
How is gaining 11 mill going backwards?
11 million is less than 15 million.
