I'd be willing to trade a 1st for him if the Falcons gave us their 3rd....I figure we are picking late in each rnd and that the Falcons will be picking early.
The Falcons really do have to either trade Jones or Grady Jarrett....if they decide to extend them they just kick the can further down the road and put themselves in worse cap space down the road.
Getting Jones for 3 yrs with apy of 12.5 mil isn't bad considering what Corey Davis got. Also he could be cut or traded in the future with minimal cap hit if it didn't work out. After 2021 only 2mil of his base salary is guaranteed.
Considering our window with Tanny and Henry sure seems like adding Jones for those 3 yrs would make sense.
Having Grady Jarrett in the mid of our DL wouldn't be bad either
The more I think about this it makes sense. Not sure it isn't already a done deal actually. We skip on WRs until the 4th round and draft Evan's replacement in the 3rd. Julio can be let go when AJ gets paid but we do make a run when the fire is hot with Henry and Tannehill. Plus we didn't go out of our way to grab a TE in this draft either so maybe Hurst is in the pot (saw they did sign Briley Moore).
We basically swap Evans for Hurst and Julio and give them a 2nd round pick. Makes sense to me. Both Evans and Hurst were denied 5th round options so maybe both get new contracts. The Evans and Hurst deal could happen anytime. They just drafted one of the best TEs to ever come out of the draft so Hurst makes sense. Plus Arthur Smith and JRob basically have no reason to not work a deal that can help both teams since we won't butting heads unless we both make it to the SB.
