Lack of Julio Jones deal is becoming a problem for the Falcons

Posted by Mike Florio on September 1, 2019, 9:23 PM EDT

Some believed that the Falcons and receiver Julio Jones quietly had a deal in place, and that the two sides were waiting for the one-year anniversary of his latest new contract (a mandatory requirement for some deals) before officially executing the new one. The Falcons apparently now wish that was the case.

As one league source explains it to PFT, there wasn’t a deal and there still isn’t a deal. As the season approaches, it’s becoming a problem for the team.

Reinforcing the notion that the Falcons knew what they’d be paying Jones was the team’s ability to extend defensive tackle Grady Phillips and linebacker Deion Jones. But, again, that wasn’t the case. The Falcons now need to make something with Jones work within the framework established by the Phillips deal, the Deion Jones deal, and all other existing deals.

Most recently came the unexpected necessity to bring kicker Matt Bryant back, with a one-year, $3 million base deal. Although the salary cap sits at $188.2 million, every dollar counts when one of the best receivers in the NFL is looking to cash in — and when the Falcons apparently don’t have much to spare. Based on current NFLPA numbers, the Falcons have less than $4 million in cap space. At this point, the Falcons will have to negotiate one or more deals to get the Julio Jones deal done.

For his part, Julio Jones hasn’t grumbled or complained. He said weeks ago that owner Arthur Blank gave his word that a contract was coming, and that that was good enough for Julio Jones. The offers made to date, however, clearly haven’t been good enough — and they need to get better soon or Julio Jones may start grumbling and complaining

Welp, it’s not a problem until it’s a problem. They told him it would happen this year, they should make it happen this year. Never make a promise you can’t keep. 

And who the **** is Grady Phillips

Stopped reading at Grady Phillips.

The fact that it's Mike Florio AND he got Grady's last name wrong, not once but twice loses a lot of credibility for the artical and the supposed league source.

Doesn't make it automatically false but for sure is understood if questioned.

Didnt he sing in Wilson Phillips? 

[octoslash 13,299]

Florio's having trouble concentrating because he and his sweet-meat Simms can't decide whether to go white lace or black SS-leather for their upcoming wedding.

[⚡Slumerican⚡ 4,978]

Have no idea about this writers credibility, but ive considered a few times someone's contract will probably need to be reworked? (who better than Ryan) to free up some money 

[FentayeJones 20,787]

Who the hel is Grady Phillips?

[Dem Birds 9,393]

Just from my perspective it feels like it's becoming an issue, I don't need this poorly written article by Mike Florio to know lol. They need to get it done because it's starting to feel like Julio is getting jerked around. I'm sure that's not the case but they've said what they need to pay him publicly so I don't really know what the hold up is. When the GM says he deserves to be the highest paid receiver and will be the highest paid receiver, what's stopping it from being done?

Fake source cant even name our players by their correct name

No wonder we can’t sign Julio. The team is giving money to Grady Phillips.

[falcons007 18,198]

You know if Julio was holding out, I would believe that stuff. They guaranteed all of Julio's remaining contract last year. It will get done, my bet is some time in October.

Grady Philips can play all the positions and is counting 70% of the cap.

Shifting money into the future with Ryan will make his cap hits insane.

Thing is, Julio's contract should free up cap space next two years.

[A Dog Named Brian 2,558]

We’re saving the money for Melvin Gordon 

[LouDog 3,550]

Hopefully it gets done soon. This could be a huge year for us. We don't need any distractions.

[atljbo 19,079]

This article is useless.... Whats interested to me is that if you listen to TD... It sound like TD is just like ... Lets get it done

 

 

I think a deal is out there and Julio Agent doesnt like the structure or something because it sound close but it sound like something is holding it up

[Jesus 19,047]

Trying to create controversy where it doesn't exist.

[Ergo Proxy 16,506]

Watch Julio get signed tomorrow.

If he actually existed, he'd be the guy that makes the writer of this artical appear to be a clueless moron impersonating a sports writer.
