Dude probably doesn't need training camp anyways

julio gets 1M now instead of over this season along with 2M now instead of next year in salary. 3M he would've gotten anyway, just bit faster,

 

[Voight]

Not denying his skill but his TDs have gone down 3 years straight.

Translation, he got $3 million more.

Winning.

Peasant money. In this league you can easily lose your contract. I highly doubt they give him a big deal in 3 years, I wouldnt either. Overvalued position and by then he will be what? Near 30 or so. Your WR really only as good as a QB. Mat Ryan is okay for now though hes overrated. Playing home games in a dome probably helps him but towards the end of his new deal I suspect he will be a shell of his current self. Ridley will also probably in the long run be better than Jones.

Most of the vets dont and hate it. Its for younger players who need to establish themselves.

I think this guy is past his prime... been in a decline the past 3 years.

He will get a new deal next year.

And Ridley will not ever be Jones. Julio is a lock HOF'er.

2nd in receiving yards in the NFL with a shit offensive co-ordinator. 3rd ranked WR by PFF

Surprised they don't just cut him.

Well he's not totally wrong in that he's declined in catch rate and TDs the last 3 seasons, but to say that a WR who has posted 4 consecutive 1400 yard seasons is past his prime is one of the dumbest things Ive seen in a while.
