They’ve usually had good attendance. But this year is different because of pandemic stuff. Not every team getting this many.

Humpries is a season away from no longer being in the NFL. And could honestly still be cut before the season starts. As far as Terry and Curtis. That’s 2 out of 7. No one outside of our fan base belevies this group is proven and set

Joined by Boise State TE coach Kent Riddle. Worked with John Bates in college. Knows what helped him stand out in college and why he thinks he'll do well in the NFL. and he knows what other teams thought of him before the draft. https://t.co/2GQijf29rp pic.twitter.com/kais1aAIco

“Nah. I’m out of there, man.”

Julio Jones tells Shannon Sharpe he’s leaving ATL and doesn’t want to go to Dallas because he wants to go somewhere he can win. @brgridiron

This is huge: Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones live on @undisputed: Julio said he's "out of there" when asked if he wants to stay in Atlanta. He also said he doesn't want to go to the Cowboys. "I want to win."

Holy cow. I don't think he knew he was live. pic.twitter.com/5D8cXjclQt

That said, I do not think Jones knew he was on the air when he said what he did this morning.

Clarity on the situation between the #Falcons and WR Julio Jones: The All-Pro requested a trade from the organization a few months ago, sources say, and the team then agreed to listen to offers. That’s how it began and why it continues.

The Julio Jones situation with the #Falcons got thrown into ludicrous speed today, but as @RapSheet told us, has been been simmering for quite some time: pic.twitter.com/xdEyX0gOA4

A big factor in any Julio Jones trade is the $15.3 million guaranteed salary this year. Among teams with cap space to potentially take on such a salary:

Chargers $21.4M
Colts: $19.6M
49ers: $17.5M
Patriots: $16.4M

#Texans star QB Deshaun Watson won’t attend OTAs and still wants to be traded, per sources.

Watson has denied wrongdoing related to recent lawsuits, which have slowed the process of sorting out his future. But his position hasn’t changed: Watson wants out of Houston.
