Julio Jones Thread: Traded to Tennessee

[KCLep20]

Julio hasn’t lost you games with 14 points per week, the difference is he’s only had 1 other 20+ point week which could have won you your week. As long as a top guy is getting me 10+ per week with a few 20/30 weeks, thats really all you can ask for. Over the course of the season, that will land you as a top 10 WR.

I ran into this...

I saw this contract has two years left at about 12 mil, after deals like Landry's and Cooks I'm sure he's looking to get compensated. His trade value may take more of a plunge with the uncertainty surrounding this.

Where exactly are we reading that he's going to hold out? Perhaps he's gotten the wisdom that EVERY athlete needs - stop using social media.

Jordan Howard did the same thing. People assumed he was being traded. We still don't know if there were any serious trade talks, but it sure spooked some people.

I didn't read that, It was speculation, but people are wondering why he'd do it. Could be due to the draft also, that he may be traded during the draft from what the article says. I agree social media is not good when you are using it wrong, but athletes also have to worry about making money off the field and after their careers and social media is big part of that. Their brand and the influence that they have with their followers is worth money. Social media does have a positive as long as they don't turn it into a place to show pics of partying with hookers and blow.

That’s the thing though.. he didn’t just stop using social media. He’s still using it. He just wiped all ties to the Falcons from it.

In before retirement, Megatron style.

While trying to find a RB without gaudy college stats but plenty of upside, this author mentions Ryan Green of Florida State.

Ha...no doubt. First line of rookie orientation should be 'Go get yourself a flip phone' and delete all your social media accounts

Completely disagree. They are in the NFL, they have millions of eyes on them, they should be utilizing social media to set up their life AFTER football. Show the behind the scenes of the investments they are making, their interest, etc. Drop the seeds now while they have the eyes on them, while people care.

I would say to have Andrew Luck teach the class, but he'd have to learn what social media is.

Has any top asset ever lost as much value in as short amount of time as Julio has? I see him going for two mid 1sts...

Haven't seen it discussed much, but I have to think Amari Cooper. Taken last year as a top 3 WR, easily below Julio at this point.

I was approached by a guy that said he'd give up 1.09 + "maybe" Crowell. Super exciting stuff....
