Raves Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think it's a fair move by both sides. Julio saw what happened to Dez and doesn't want that to happen to him, not to mention guys like Cooks and Landry are now making much more than him. I think a smart move would be for Atlanta to rework his deal this year, as a show of good faith and their belief in Julio, but put wording into the contract that another future holdout would be extremely costly and something he wouldn't consider.

So this statement: is wrong They don’t have a problem. Have you heard the FO taking issue with him holding out? Julio is the disgruntled one here and that is all on him for signing the contract they offered him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Should a player really ask for what he thinks the market will be in the future? Would most teams even consider that? Maybe players should ask for a percentage of the salary cap instead of a dollar amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Interesting news. Jones is amongst the game's best at WR. Be interesting to see if he'll get a new deal before the start of training camp or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TecmoSuperJoe Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Would be hilarious if Julio stuck to his guns like Vincent Jackson did a few years ago. Just miss half the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol that’s a pretty far conclusion to jump to. I don’t see it that way at all. I think they only start to have a problem with it if he starts missing games because that’s when it starts to hurt the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the beating TO would take on this forum if this was him today. lol Jones has a right to do the holdout in hopes of a new deal (I have no doubt he will pay whatever the fines are), the Falcons hold all the leverage though. This is the same thing the Bears had with Briggs years ago. "I'll never play another down for Chicago again" then signs a sizeable deal to play for the Bears. In his shoes I get that he wants guaranteed money and the market for WRs is going up. But I'd want both Cooks (who was extended), Diggs and OBJ to get their deals first. Then you can really push you market value with something to back it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
