On Wednesday, we discussed whether Julio Jones becoming a 49er was a pipedream. We’ve done this dance with a handful of players — namely Odell Beckham Jr., who was a high-priced wide receiver who had an injury history but remained one of the top players at his position.
On Thursday morning, The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz wrote that the Atlanta Falcons want to trade Julio Jones. That isn’t news, as Jones has been on the hypothetical trade block all offseason. You can thank Julio’s contract for that. The Falcons currently don’t have enough cap space to sign their draft picks, as they have $412,351 in cap space.
