Well... I didn’t look the games played up. I'll trust your research.

I'm going off the bitching I've had to hear from my sons who play fantasy football. Every year one of my 3 sons has that dude on their FF team and they either bitch about him missing time or playing with an injury. If not that, the 2 sons who don't have him laugh at the one who decided to take a chance on him.

Maybe he's played in more games than I thought... although 9 games last yr should raise an eyebrow... but he does play injured and as a result may be no where near as productive during those games.

Again...I'm going off the bitching and razing I hear from my boys... and it's a lot over the last few years.
I agree with you. He's one of those guys who always seems to be banged up...and is nursing SOMETHING.

Trade him to the 49ers so he will be a locker room cancer when he doesnt get 15 targets per game

The Cardinals will eventually sign him to a 1 year deal to close out his career, but he's not quite old enough yet.

Wow I didn't expect this. Lets look at the current cap and who could realistically

Can you imagine the Browns grabbing Jones and trading OBJ? Or maybe back to ATL to lighten some picks. Chargers and Colts would be amazing fits for Jones as well. Broncos to get one of the top QB's? IDK but pairing with Jones would makes sense.

Would have to think if Atlanta is trading to get out of cap hell, they won't be taking on expensive pieces. The other scenarios I could see.

Good point, didn't realize OBJ cap hit was that big! Holy Shit!


Speaking of Cap Hell is this a signal they might be taking a QB at #4 to get out from under Matt Ryans contract?

Whoa guys the dude is 32 years old with 3 more years on his contract which isn't small. Take a look at his cost and it would be a fool's trade. Why pay premium cap $$ to a WR on the downside of his career?

The Rams are 4 deep at WR with: Woods, Kupp, Jackson and Jefferson with Webster and Trishon Jackson (who timed at 4.5 at 6'1") behind them. WR simply isn't a need on this roster especially with a cap hit of $15M-$16M over the next 3 years.

I don't want to see Jones anywhere near this time. He has cost me championships in 2 of my last 3 fantasy seasons.

The frustrating part is it never seems to be a Cooper Kupp kind of "he's out 3 weeks" etc, he's always day-to-day, plays one or two series, then goes to bench. Then when you get frustrated, you sit him, and he puts up 180 and 3 TDs.

Even though the last part only impacts fantasy leagues, I still say "No thanks!"

LOL. Been there. Never again.

I disagree. Last place I want to see him is in the division, or with a conference playoff team. Send him to the Jets!
He deserves better than that. We can't afford him and Roger's is the best QB in the NFC. If he goes to the AFC. I hope it's with the Chiefs. I wanna see the guy win one. He has earned it.

There's no getting out from under his contract for at least 2 more years.

Hard to believe Julio is an 11 year vet. I know he has a hammy issues every year. No problem in the Rams trying to get him. Go for it!
If you can't look up the games started 3 years later and see he was injured, then he's been the picture of perfect health his whole career!

If we got him we could be paying $35 million-ish for less than one WR:

DJax - injured in the first four games
Julio - injured sometime in the next 10 games
Kupp - injured in the first playoff game
