THE ICEMAN Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 You have to figure Ryan going to get a mega contract here real soon. So looking at Julio he's going to want as much if not more than Calvin Johnson got which was 7 years 132 mil its going to be real hard to keep him and Ryan and if we got lucky and landed a stud on defense with this cap I not so sure you can built with that much money tied up in two playersSo maybe if we reward Julio now with a contract he would take less?Just throwing it out there I think the Lions were crazy. Megatron's real good maybe the best but I can't see paying a WR what an elite QB is making.And it would be real hard seeing us let Julio walk because I'm not sure I've seen a player as good and as talented as Julio let walk so I think that's out of the question.

Falcanuck Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't forget about Weatherspoon. He's ready for a payday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbaz Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I try not to think about it.With that being said, I don't think Julio would ask for a Megatron type of contract. Even if he does, he won't get it. TD won't give that much money to one person not named Matt. TD will offer him a little bit more than what Roddy is getting now.

THE ICEMAN Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think maybe try to extend Julio now and get some type of discount don't know what kind of contract it'd be but I just don't know if we can tie that kind of Money up in a WR no matter who he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebird310 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I'm starting to have nightmares of him in a Suc uniform, i think I will go puke and go to bed now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ICEMAN Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Don't forget about Weatherspoon. He's ready for a payday too.He is but he no where near the talent Julio is Julio in his 2nd season and I believe he's easily a top 5 WR maybe even the best or 2nd to Megatron I do believe he is just on another level than AJ green and that's another discussion but to go on a little more I believe had Julio been the clear number 1 and not playing with a WR like Roddy he may of had 1500 yards and 15 TDs in only his 2nd season he is truly a rare talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for sure. Both their contracts end in the same year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandtrap Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Well Roddy will come off the books at that time, we should have a rookie te and not a Tony type contract so hopefully we can make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtybird56 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 The good news is there's no chance of us letting Julio walk. You don't give up 5 draft picks to let a stud player walk after a rookie contract Bad news is Julio's agent knows this so who knows how much we'll pay but it will be a substantial amount no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takeitdown Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That's why it's best to have 5 or 6 good receiving options instead of 1 or 2 great ones. You can let any one of them walk when they demand too much, and the dropoff isn't devastating.Build the receiving corps like the Saints or Packers do. Lots of 3rd rounder types, and if one leaves...so be it. But you can't do this plan w 7th rounders. You have to have midround talent developing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProFalconFan Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 JJ will get a big time contract just like Ryan will. And if he doesn't something is seriously wrong. Clearly will be at the top of the class when that time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjerry Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 He's worth more than the 1.5mil he's making. That's for sure. Both their contracts end in the same year.Yeah, keep in mind, Julio already went to a pro bowl, Spoon didn't. Nolan is on record about Spoon's potential and if we get a big NT and start using Spoon on the inside....We might want to resign him before he has a breakout year and goes to the probowl.
