Over the next week or so Stitched Isaiah Oliver Jersey , oster we didn’t have the time or energy to really praise during the regular season. After that, we’ll take a closer look at some of the players who didn’t meet our expectations. It almost seems insane to include Julio Jones on a list of players who were bright spots for a bad season. Why? Well, because there’s little doubt that he would always be a bright spot. Since entering the league in 2011, Julio has quickly become one of the most dominant receivers in the game. Any thoughts that he could have a “down” season are laughable at best. And yet, creating a bright spots list without Julio seems criminal. So here we are.What was his 2019 like? Oh, you know, just more of the same. He caught the ball 113 times for 1677 yards (14.8 yards per catch dear lord) and 8 touchdowns. It was his second highest yardage total in his career behind only 2015 (1871 yards). It was also his second straight season of playing in all 16 games. The funny thing is Youth Isaiah Oliver Jersey , some fans were openly questioning whether the team should commit to this man for the long-term, as if the age of 30 is some mystical number where all football players fall apart. If Julio is showing any signs of slowing down, I’m not seeing it. If anything, he’s just as dominant as he’s always been and maybe more so. The addition of Calvin Ridley will take some pressure off of him, but it’s not like the pressure bothered him much anyways. Any talk of needing to move on from Julio should cease immediately.We’re so used to Julio being a freak of nature that plays like this just seemed like a normal days work: And oh yeah, these:The Falcons have publicly said that they plan to renegotiate Julio’s contract this off-season to make sure he’s paid what he’s worth. After yet another year of sheer dominance - without any of the diva traits that other receivers in the league exhibit - I hope the Falcons give him a contract that ensures he retires as an Atlanta Falcon. ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons lack the financial flexibility to be big spenders in free agency even after clearing salary cap room by restructuring quarterback Matt Ryan’s contract.The Falcons on Tuesday confirmed that $8.75 million of Ryan’s 2019 base salary will be paid as a signing bonus. The move creates $7 million in cap space, more than doubling the team’s available funds for free agency and the NFL draft.Teams can begin signing free agents on Wednesday at 4 p.m. EDT.Ryan signed a five-year Stitched Tony Gonzalez Jersey , $150 million extension in 2018.The tweak to Ryan’s contract leaves Atlanta with approximately $13.5 million in cap space. The Falcons still rank only 27th in the NFL in available cap room, according to Spotrac.The adjustment to Ryan’s contract was first reported by ESPN.Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff could clear more cap space if he’s able to negotiate a new long-term deal for wide receiver Julio Jones or sign defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to a new contract.When Atlanta placed a $15.209 million franchise tag on Jarrett on March 4, Dimitroff said he still hoped to negotiate a long-term contract with the defensive tackle.The Falcons can negotiate with Jarrett until July 15. Jarrett, 25, had 52 tackles and set career highs with six sacks and three forced fumbles as the leader of Atlanta’s defensive front in 2018.By cutting cornerback Robert Alford, kicker Matt Bryant and defensive end Brooks Reed , the Falcons gained the approximate savings needed to pay Jarrett’s franchise tag.Ryan Youth Tony Gonzalez Jersey , Jarrett, Jones, cornerback Desmond Trufant, offensive tackle Jake Matthews and defensive end Vic Beasley all have cap figures of more than $11 million in 2019.Dimitroff said at last month’s NFL combine he believes the team’s highest-paid players deserve the salaries but acknowledged the top-heavy payroll can be challenging.“We have a group that we think deserves it and we know we’ve put ourselves on the line putting those types of players on our roster,” Dimitroff said, adding the Falcons “have some expensive people that we need to continue to look at, make sure they’re producing Stitched Deion Sanders Jersey , which we feel they are, and make sure we build around them strategically so that we can continue to put together a team that we think and feel will be thriving in the NFL.”The Falcons finished 7-9 in their disappointing 2018 season, only two years after their Super Bowl loss to New England. The losing season increases the pressure on Dimitroff and coach Dan Quinn in 2019.Ryan, 33, posted numbers last season that compared with his 2016 MVP season. He passed for 4,924 yards with 35 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.Ryan was Dimitroff’s first draft pick as Atlanta’s new general manager in 2008.“Going back to when I first got this job in 2008, it was so important for us to have that quarterback in place Youth Deion Sanders Jersey , as we know,” Dimitroff said. “… To have Matt here has been great for us and we’ll continue to grow and build around him.”
