Kevin Wilson Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 46 minutes ago, Infinit said: Wow...Julio on that team would crazy. Puts them solidly up there with KC in the AFC. I've been wrong... a lot... but if I had to rank the reasons the Bills freed up space now I'd put it in order of likelihood: 1. Best CB available (Sherman? Steven Nelson?) 2. Ertz (maybe waiting to see if he gets cut soon) 3. Josh Allen extension to put more money in year one/free up space later 4. Julio Jones 5. Other At his cost (both contract and draft pick) I just don't think the move was for Julio. Not that he wouldn't help, course he would, but WR isn't the Bills' biggest need (CB, DT, and TE are) so it would be an expensive move. Not that I'd mind, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Unless something gets messed up Julio Jones is going to Titans. At least it wasn't the Pats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Its worth it for the Titans if he can stay healthy and doesn't demand a new contract after this year which is what many are theorizing. He is still a legit WR1 and a great pickup, but he is also 32 years old so I assume they'd be hesitate to extend him to a big money deal, maybe they will redo his current deal enough to make him happy. I guess no one bit on the 1st round pick that the Falcons reportedly wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's a big Pick up for them between Julio Jones, Derrick Henry & AJ Brown that offense is going to be nasty & they get to play the Jags & Texans twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Yeah obviously Julio is going to be there for a good time not for a long time, but Tennessee was a pretty scary team even without him. You have to take them seriously now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I'm not really sure what point he is even trying to make. The issue with the Hopkins trade wasn't just the haul (although Hopkins > Julio at this point) but that the Texans should have made him happy and not traded him in the first place. Because he was/is one of the best WRs in the league. Everyone understands why the Falcons are dumping Julio, its apples and oranges. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 The NFL is looking for a team to agree to be its International Partner for a series of games to be held in Germany (think how the Jags agreed to play in London every year) The goal is to start the series next year (2022) and potentially play the game during Oktoberfest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Jags deal was easier since their owner has connections in London, so they better have a plan to make it worth their while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On paper its a small thing, but players really don't think things through sometimes. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31621365/leveon-bell-says-retire-playing-kansas-city-chiefs-coach-andy-reid-social-media-post Here is a free agent RB (a position teams are already generally happy to phase out players) that hasn't had a good season in four years. He wasn't happy in Pittsburgh, wasn't happy in New York, and now is expressing he didn't like playing in KC. What motivation would a team have to bring him in? I am assuming his goal is to wait for an injury to open up a spot but chances are he isn't going to get another 'workhouse' RB job like he wants, I'm sure his agent texted him after that post. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking Mahomes had one practice when he threw 6 picks. He won the MVP that year. ... And in a similar vein... weird report out of Baltimore saying the Ravens are not allowing Lamar to be filmed throwing the ball during practice. My guess is they saw the reaction to the Tua story and said, none of that for us, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in addition to this, the NFL has said teams that reach an 85% threshold of vaccinated players/employees will also get even more relaxed standards (not definite yet, but probably). The two teams that have reached that level so far are: New Orleans and Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
