Titans in on Julio OR Elijah?

The Falcons don't need all of Julio's cap moved however to be in a comfortable position cap wise. With taking on Evan's salary they would have around ~10 million in cap space which is more than enough to operate especially considering they can then lower Jarrett cap hit since they are now clear of Jones' cap hit in 2022.

Keep in mind the Falcons are still a contending team with a closing window as Matt Ryan is likely winding down. By getting Evens they can upgrade a hole in their new 34 defense with a player the knows Pees defense.

 

Inside linebacker is arguably the Falcons deepest/best position. Deion Jones is elite. Foye Oluokun had a breakout year last year and Mychal Walker had a really good rookie year. They didn't even sniff ILB in free agency (granted they didn't have any money) or the draft.

 

Any1 else feeling like atlanta are playing their hand like Julio of the past than the present. Granted he'll be a wr2 on most teams and and 1 on some but with his massive cap hit they're acting like the guy is in his prime. Teams are gonna get fed up of the chase and just reduce the offer as atlanta needs to reduce cap space than most teams needing an aging wr

 

My understanding is that they can't even get their draft picks under the cap. This whole playing hard ball by them is kind of illogical. Take the best offer and move on.

 

Best top 3 weapons in the league if we got Julio?

1 AJB, Julio, Henry
2 amari, lamb, zeke
3 Jefferson, thielen, dalvin
4 tyreek, kelce, Ceh
5 DK, Lockett, Carson
6 Evans, Godwin, 4net

 

Sure, so they would love to clear 15 mill but if they only way they can clear any space via trade is to take a player that makes four, saving 11 mill is still moving forward for them. Better than saving 0 and not making the trade.

 

Clearly they can sign the rookie class with 11 mil. Not sure why anyone is arguing this point with you.

 

The Falcons are NOT still a contending team. They are a team headed to a rebuild. They are 18-30 in their last 3 seasons and are coming off a 4-12 year. That doesn’t look like contending to me, That looks like that window is shut.

 

I agree, which makes taking Pitts over Fields a terrible move.

 

If a first round pick were offered, the Falcons likely would have taken it by now.
