Now just Tannehill and the 1st for Aaron Rogers and the titans are set.
Whoever the Titans Slot receiver and TE are they have to be thrilled about the single coverage that they are going to see with Julio and Brown on the outside drawing the double teams.Good place for Julio. Good QB, #2 WR now, good offense
They could have given them picks beyond a 2nd this draft, especially if they want to ‘win now’.Because ATL can win the super bowl in the next 2-3 years? Don’t see that happening. All nfc west contenders teams have no first next season. Makes their second more valuable to them.
Sometimes players and teams don’t want to see each other again soon.Which is stupid because Atlanta isn't contending for the SB anytime soon.
How tight are SF, LAR, Sea to the cap? Maybe they needed Atl to eat some of Julio‘a salary which appears to be something they didn’t want to do.They could have given them picks beyond a 2nd this draft, especially if they want to ‘win now’.

Not really. Teams offering a 1st probably needed Atlanta to absorb a chunk of Jones 's salary. The Titans did not ask them to.Lesson here is that someone was lying about the Falcons having a 1st on the table.
I have no doubt the brain trust handling the 49ers money manage could make it work, but it’s probably just easier to deal with the team that’s out of conference and willing to eat his salary.How tight are SF, LAR, Sea to the cap?

I don’t think anyone should ever mix business with feelings wrt sports. It’s how guys like Joe Thornton and Josh Donaldson get traded for pennies on the dollar, but it’s an undeniable part of life.I still think that's a horseshit reason to take potentially less value in a trade.
I do at least understand being reticent to make a major in-division trade considering how the NFL playoff seeding/structure works (though I don't necessarily agree with that philosophy all the time), but for a team that's not on the cusp of contention, trading outside the division but within the conference to teams that are not traditional rivals? That's totally different. In the vast majority of situations, I believe in getting the best possible return you can regardless of who you're trading with.
I'm sure that they could have worked it out for this season.I have no doubt the brain trust handling the 49ers money manage could make it work, but it’s probably just easier to deal with the team that’s out of conference and willing to eat his salary.
Which if their approach was win-now/rebuild-later would be perfectly fine. With the Lance trade they’ve probably hoped to extend their window which makes your logic more apt.I'm sure that they could have worked it out for this season.
But, they are already without their first round pick for the next 2 drafts. Even if they didn't take back a 6th like the Titans did and just gave up a 2nd and 4th, the leaves the Niners thin on draft capital and they are approaching new deals for some of their better younger players.
Julio will be more consistent than Corey Davis was. Jones not the same guy as he was 3 seasons ago, but if teams opt to leave him man to man, he can still hurt you.Not worried about Tennessee. Ryan Tannehill is throwing him balls. Not Matt Ryan. And this isn't prime Julio. The man, as great of as a person he is, isn't what he once was.
My team needs to be most concerned about maybe Buffalo. And that injury bug.
Julio's issue will be staying in the field.Julio will be more consistent than Corey Davis was. Jones not the same guy as he was 3 seasons ago, but if teams opt to leave him man to man, he can still hurt you.
