#Julio jones stats last 3 years full
By passing on Justin Fields in favor of tight end Kyle Pitts with the fourth pick, the Falcons signaled that they weren’t committing to a full rebuild - and yet by shopping Julio, they also aren’t committing to going all-in for a final “win now” push.
Still, by refusing to invest in youth at QB via the draft, Fontenot hasn’t done much to address the situation. Fontenot inherited a salary cap mess from his predecessor, Thomas Dimitroff, and Atlanta remains just $337,851 under the cap after restructuring Ryan’s deal this offseason. The Falcons have been telegraphing their desire to trade Jones since new GM Terry Fontenot took over in January. To be fair, it’s not as if Atlanta is pining for Jones to stay, either. These aren’t the statements of a player expecting to stick around for another year. Reports indicate that the superstar receiver has been unhappy with the Falcons since his 2019 contract negotiations, and at least one journalist has said that Jones thinks Matt Ryan has lost his fastball. After Jones told Shannon Sharpe, “I’m out of there … I want to win,” on live TV last week, it’s probably fair to characterize the 10-year partnership as just about doomed. It’s a bit of an understatement to say the relationship between Julio Jones and the Atlanta Falcons is strained.
