In Julio’s time in Atlanta, he’s been nothing but the consummate professional. Unlike other receivers in the league looking for a new contract, Julio hasn’t missed any time with the team this year as he looks for a revised deal. Everyone knows Julio is worth far more than what he’s making, but the rumors are that he wants a mega-contract that would dwarf what Michael Thomasrecently got.


With that in mind, the speculation about whether Julio will play on Sunday against the Vikings has begun.

Here’s the deal: players have little leverage with which to negotiate unless they are pending free agents. The only real leverage they have is to refuse to play. We’ve seen it with Melvin Gordon and the Chargers and it could very well happen here with Julio.

To be clear: Julio has not publicly said anything of the sort. All indications right now are that he will play on Sunday. Yet, the Falcons front office have been talking for weeks about a new deal being right around the corner. In fact, GM Thomas Dimitroff reiterated those talking points during an interview at the Jaguars preseason game last Thursday night, and we’ve been hearing this song for months now. However, as of this writing, no new deal is in place, despite repeated hints and signs that it would soon get done.

Given Julio’s incredible value to the team, going without him, in game 1 could be disastrous for the Falcons, who have plenty of weapons but would not find the sledding against a Minnesota defense as easy with Mohamed Sanu, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, and the gang minus Julio. The Vikings are already a difficult match-up. Going into that game without your dominant #1 receiver would be a handicap they probably can’t overcome.

Again, this seems unlikely based on everything both parties have said publicly to this point, but it’s also true that this has stretched on for a very long time. If you’re a little nervous about a deal not being done Sunday and waiting with bated breath to see if Julio’s out there, you’re probably not alone.

This is the most out of touch with the team going into the season in over a decade. The whole team looks like a question mark. I could see 12-4 or 4-12 right now.

How are we looking really?

 

[Nostalgic]

Still no Julio contract.

Just brought back Matt "Bitcoin" Bryant so that's solid now

Issues still remain at OLB and RT & LG.

There aren't many other holes if everybody stays healthy

fukk the Aints

Still no Julio contract.

Big Money Blank said "we're really close" and he'd be "disappointed" if we didn't get a deal done this week.

The big question: Can QB Matt Ryan lead the Falcons to a Super Bowl title?
The 2016 MVP, entering his 12th season, sounded pretty optimistic this summer, telling ESPN the Falcons have the right people in the building to give them a "great chance" to get back and, hopefully, win the Lombardi Trophy. The skeptics believe the Falcons might never overcome the Super Bowl hangover from 2016 after their 28-3 implosion and eventual 34-28 overtime loss to the Patriots. Ryan has to prove otherwise and keep his teammates focused on that mission, with the window of opportunity closing. -- Vaughn McClure

Offseason in a nutshell
Falcons coach Dan Quinn put a lot of pressure on himself by parting ways with Marquand Manuel and taking over as the defensive coordinator, so how the unit performs will have a lot to do with how he calls the "multiple'' defense and uses the personnel at his disposal, particularly pass-rushers Vic Beasley Jr. and Takk McKinley.

The Falcons also shored up their offensive line, drafting right guard Chris Lindstrom and right tackle Kaleb McGary in the first round and signing guards James Carpenter and Jamon Brown in free agency. So an emphasis was placed on protecting Ryan and opening more holes in the running game with bigger, athletic bodies up front -- provided those linemen remain healthy. Injuries truly wrecked the Falcons' season a year ago, so adding quality depth on both sides -- particularly on the offensive and defensive lines -- was a must to avoid a significant drop-off when a starter unexpectedly misses time. -- McClure

I just want everyone to stay healthy. No more losing to the bum ass swamp rats

Matt Bryant was angry with Falcons, but now all is forgiven
