NYRaider Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Realistically though I could see the Raiders extending Carr to free up the space for Julio, it would be a very Gruden move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I call BS on the Falcons having a first round pick trade offer. If that was the case this trade would have been done. 3rd that can turn into a second and throw in Edwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Jon: I’ll show you how to get a good deal Mike, you gotta offer really really low at first and meet in the middle Mike: Ok, you’re the real boss Jon Jon: *calls Atlanta* Hey gentlemen, I’ll give you 3 1st Round Picks for Julio right now Falcon GM: Well damn Jon you got yourself a deal Jon to Mike: Wow they took the first offer, what a bunch of suckers! I would of gave 6 of those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakdb36 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 https://nfltraderumors.co/latest-on-potential-julio-jones-trade-2/ Sounds like the Raiders aren't involved anymore which is a bit surprising to me as i thought Gruden would be all over that.

He will get traded for a 4th and a mid 2023 pick now that we are out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly wasn't one of the teams talking about signing Nnamdi, either. Yet.. ? IDC if we get Julio or not. I don't want to over pay. But Gruden is trying to get that dog at WR. We can't say he hasn't tried, it just hasn't worked yet. Sorry @drfrey13... I was trying to quote the post before you.

NYRaider Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Quote “Cap space, cap space and cap space. The Raiders have roughly $6 million in cap space and still have to sign a majority of their draft class. Plus, while Jones would be an upgrade over anyone in its receiver room, Las Vegas is committed to Henry Ruggs III taking the next step. He is next to untouchable, and you figure the Falcons would want him in a trade.” In what world would we give up Ruggs in a potential Julio deal?

agarcia34 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) I did find it odd that I. Johnson didn’t show up for OTAs not sure if it was injury related like him recovering from a injury but you would think with learning a new system in a crowded secondary that you would want to be there.

NYRaider Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 The only thing with potentially acquiring Julio is how do we make it work with our current cap situation? This makes the Miller extension (which gave him a significant raise this year) look dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Julio wants to win so the Raiders would be a hard sell, but it’s still possible to convince him. Talk to him about Gus Bradley. Plus, players just love Jon Gruden. Him, Carroll, and Tomlin are a few of the more likable coaches in the league. Carr fans will finally get their dream offense lol. Julio is a Top 5-6 WR still. Ruggs should ascend and be good this year, plus it’s VERY important to take the top off, you need speed. Also, I have always loved John Brown. Then you have Waller as a Top 3 TE. Jacobs/Drake is a really nice RB combination. The OL is where it gets a bit shaky, but it should be at least Middle of the Pack.

If he wants to win I'm not sure why he's so interested in going to the Patriots. Does he want to be a blocking WR or catching passes from Andy Dalton 2.0?
