POLL What team is the best fit for Julio Jones?

[NWPATSFAN]

Clayton is a fossil and probably dies on the inside anytime the Seahawks pass the ball

That may be true. Not unlike many Seahawk fans when it comes to running the ball.

Gallant: Why a Seahawks trade for Julio Jones would be a mistake

The Seahawks are reportedly interested in Julio Jones, which would give them a great WR trio, but Paul Gallant sees issues with the idea.

Clayton says not so fast for a Seahawk trade

A lot of those are dumb reasons to not trade for julio jones. Really John Clayton is worried that the receiver we drafted in the middle 2nd round wont get enough playing time and the pick could be wasted? Or that Lockett wont like Jones being the 2nd highest paid player on the team and Metcalf will ask for jones money when his contract is up? Those are all stretch reasons the only decent reason is what will they do about the cap.

If you are a playoff team trying to get to the super bowl there is no bad reason to acquire Julio Jones unless what was given up was too much.

He and Gallant make a couple valid points. Cap is always an issue. Adams will be coming up as well as Metcalf. The Hawks have more pressing needs like D and Oline. Carrol wants to control the ball with a run game.

They are valid reasons.

When Metcalf is due for a contract Jones contract will expire, going into the 2022 season assuming we don't even cut anyone we have like 50 million in cap space. The offseason is over whatever needed to be addressed for any team its done now its all about getting ready for training camp. If you are a playoff team in the NFL trying to win a super bowl getting Julio jones would be a great idea. Every year you are a contender you need to put forward your best product. You cant have a QB 30+ year old QB and worry about salary cap 2-3 years from now, super bowl windows aren't open forever.

You avoided Adams coming up. Holes in the current D and Oline. Could Seattle still not upgrade there and improve their chances of winning?

Seattle also lacks depth which has always been a concern and problem.

 

[Southieinnc]

Personally, I don't see any team being a good fit for Julio. At least until Atlanta gets reasonable, everybody is out of the market!

The Adams contract coming up isn’t really a huge deal. The cap is going to explode next offseason because of the new contract and Bobby Wagner’s contract will be coming off of the books with either a cap casualty or he will have to restructure

I hate almost everyone on 710am and value almost none of their opinions

I actually have this dipshit blocked on Twitter lmao

 

[BigKen]

None of those teams currently have $15M+ available in effective cap space. Some cuts will be needed, unless Atlanta takes back salary (which doesn't seem likely, given their need to drop cap).

Patriots have almost $16M in cap space. They can afford JJ easily. And he said publicly that he'd like to play with Cam.

Titans have $3.3M
Ravens have $2.8M

Not sure about the Colts and Chiefs. Chiefs had to rewrite Mahome's contract and give him a big bonus to give them enough money to do what they've already done. Colts did spend quite bit, but they may have the cash. Is Carson Wentz the QB that will be able to take advantage of JJ's attributes?

 

[poewelch84]

Kansas City doesn't belong there, ya don't mess up Mahomes to Hill

Julio would get pissed in Baltimore for obvious reasons.

Love to see him a Niner. Doubt best fit however.

This is a hmmmm?

His best season was in a Shanahan offense so it might be the best fit.

Why would Wags be a cap casualty? He's signed through 2023? He may negotiate a new contract? Which would make sense considering the cap is estimated to be $208M. Adams will take a nice chunck of that. Don't forget other teams will have additional cap $ to offer guys like Adams driving his and others prices up.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Maybe this is why he hasn't signed anywhere yet? Atl will have to dump him sooner or later and teams know that.

It'd be interesting to see what teams have offered at this point?

Curious what do you see as reasonable?

If I'm a contender and I know I'll have a late 1st round pick anyway, I give up a first. I would like some relief on his contract though.

Because Wagner isn’t the player his contract says he is, and the Seahawks drafted his replacement last year. Other teams will have money for Adams for sure, but he is going to resign by the opener.

So you think Seattle will cut or trade Wags? I didn't look up how much that will cost them? They'd have a hard time justifying he hasn't lived up to his contract? His numbers are consistent. If NE wasn't set at LB I'd take him. One of my favorite Hawk players. I don't have many as you know.

He has a 20 million cap hit next season. If they trade/cut him they can save 16 million. Not saying the Seahawks would do that.

Clayton is an idiot who thinks a $22M cap figure means the player is being paid $22M per year.

Everyone likes Wagner but $16.6M looks pricey.

 

[RaZon]

Who throws a better long ball than Russell Wilson, and Jones wants a contender, yep, Seahawks!

That's been the Seahawks MO; add more to the team elsewhere instead of investing in the offensive line to keep Russell upright. Why do you think he wants out? He gets hit WAY too often. Adding Julio isn't really going to change that. They already have 2 quality starting WRs, it's far from being a weakness.
