Heard this on Outkick the Coverage yesterday...hilarious.

Sharpe's going to be in some hot water but I think it's hilarious. The Falcons just lost a lot of trade leverage too since everyone heard it straight from Julio he's not going to play for them.

They were asking way to much anyways. No way you give up a 1

This is big:

@TomPelissero
The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for 2022, per source.

There is no cap floor as of now. The sides agreed last August to spread the COVID-related revenue shortfall from 2020 over several years, and the cap dropped to $182.5M this year.

Another gut punch to the NFL is doomed crowd

Adam V. retiring:

@SportsCenter
Breaking: Adam Vinatieri, the NFL's all-time scoring leader, announced Wednesday on the "Pat McAfee Show" that he's retiring after 24 seasons.

Translation: "We need to create competition for a trade, since everyone knows Julio is done in Atlanta."

@diannaESPN
The Atlanta Falcons have discussed several trade offers for Julio Jones, including an offer for a future first round draft pick, per sources.

There is a sense around the league a trade could go down as early as next week.

If he goes there that will open up a ton for that offense

But is a poor decision. Mortgaging the future. A 1st round pick should be a long-term young starter, not a receiver who has lost a step and well into his 30s with insane contract. Trading for Jones is the kind of mistake we used to make.

I had thought GB might trade a 2nd for him, appease Rodgers, but a 1st is just too much.

I partly agree with you - 1st round pick is too much unless it's a team who is one #1 WR away from being a SB contender. Jones might be older and not the same as he was a few years ago, but he is still a WR that can make huge difference for an offense. Last year, Falcons and Ryan played well when Jones was on the field and struggled without him.

I had the same thought about GB, I think trading for Jones might help Rodgers feel a little better. Adams and Jones on the same field would make everything easier for Rodgers - all he needs to do is just to throw it up and let the guys catch it.

Why not right?

Tim Tebow inspires former Super Bowl champ to make comeback at new position: 'I just need a shot'

[Monkeydad]

I saw that and wondered how old he was since it's been forever since he played.

A 38-YO running back!?



He'll always be remembered for trucking Landry.

Thank goodness Dan and Vinnie aren’t putting up 2 number ones for Jones. 🤦*♂️
