No chance they'll let Julio Jones go. Almost as certain about not letting Jarrett go. Obviously either of those would be no-brainers but I don't think we'll get the chance.

I'm not necessarily convinced Jarrett is a top 5 DT. Maybe top 10ish. Off the top of my head I'd put Aaron Donald, Fletcher Cox, Geno Atkins, healthy Jurrell Casey, Kawann Short, Deforrest Buckner, Chris Jones, Akiem Hicks, and Cam Heyward at or above his level. Maybe others. Good player though and definitely an upgrade. And as of December they were far apart w/the Falcons on contract.

I would not mind Mack at all as backup for our center and guard spots. Just a question of if he'd accept that role on a potential contender after being a high-end starting center his whole career. My guess is he'll stay where he is.
Thanks! Fixed Jackson to Jarrett in my posts; my wires get so crossed.

I did not do this to indicate that they could not paper over their cap issues for a year or three. Restructuring can do that.

However, I think one or two players will break lose from ATL that we could be interested in. Sanu and Coleman are the two I am most looking at.

Anyway, fun cap exercise.

Walk Worthy,
