Is Eric Fisher considered damaged goods ?

Are we one of the several teams that he is talking to ?

Its tough because he just blew that Achilles in January. 

The only OT I heard of WFT looking at was Villanueva. He is supposedly signed with the Ravens now

I thought Villanueva was to sign with the Ravens after the draft.  He already signed with them?

Thought he was signed at the same time as the trade announcement, perhaps it was rumored but didn't occur?

Nope.  He hasn't signed and won't till after the draft.

Well that is good news for WFT!

Julio Jones is apparently available this summer

[Koolblue13]

Our defense is going to be so fun with us having an offense that can score a lot of points.

[Riggo-toni]

Need to sign Payne to a long term deal. Sadly Jonathan Allen probably can't be retained long term if we keep Sweat, Payne, and Young.

The thought is that he’s still going to Baltimore.  They are just holding off making it official for 2022 draft compensation purposes.

[Warhead36]

No brainer picking up Payne's option but I'd like to see us start to give our guys long term deals before they can even sniff FA.

Peter King thinks the compensation for Julio is a 2nd round pick or around there....Also makes 20M this year and next.

For the kind of money he'll make for the next three years, Atlanta should be giving up picks to dump him, not getting picks.

The team who acquires would just be responsible for the base salary, right? If so, not too bad. Sign me up if it the case. Super Bowl window would officially open. 
 

I just get worried with the new way of doing things and guys wanting to renegotiate; Julio has done this previously.

I thought he had been paid the large amount of his contract, I think his next 3 years are 15, 12, 11m.

His cap hits for the next 3 years are 23, 19.2, 19.2. I’m sure their is some way to finagle that. But those are details.

I’d much rather have someone on a rookie deal than be paying Julio 12 in two years.

That’s includes a load of pro rated bonus cap hits from cash already paid.

Yeah I think you are correct, those are the cash amounts due. Still wouldn’t trade a 2nd for him though.

Pass.  He is 32 years old.  I'd rather use the 2nd rounder for a younger player to grow with our core.  I'd offer a 4th (maybe another day 3 pick), but I wouldn't expect them to take it.  

[Koolblue13]

The draft has enough WR talent for all 32 teams to draft 2 guys who might have good long careers. Probably not the year to shop a high priced WR.

[seantaylor=god]

There is no way he’s worth a 2nd- but just looked it up and he’s only owed

 

Here's what a team acquiring Julio Jones in a trade would owe him on his current deal: 2021: $15.3M 2022: $11.513M 2023: $11.513M 3-years, $38.326M in total.

 

mid to late pick would be fine for me

Welcome back I guess

 

[Warhead36]

Scherff on the way out? I mean there is no way we're planning on playing Flowers at LT and he makes too much to be a backup.

[redskindan07]

Not exactly sure how to read this one, didn't he get a pretty good pay increase going down to Miami...?
