Like if they would just step back for a second and realize this team doesn’t have much of an OLine, don’t really have any top receivers, and the defense is trash, they would see it’s away bigger problem than Matt Ryan. I agree it’s time to start building his replacement. But they need to fix all these other holes and issues as well, and then the Falcons can get back to being okay instead of sucking

No sympathy as a Cowboys fan who actually liked Tony Romo. Dumbasses made me hate the entire fanbase just about lol

Pretty much how I feel about Falcons fans. I honestly want to see Ryan leave and go win a Super Bowl some place else. I’d be happy for him.

Source: Randy Gregory flips on Dallas Cowboys after agreeing to contract, to join Denver Broncos instead​

ESPN

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In a stunning -- and public -- reversal of free-agency fortune, the Denver Broncos have agreed to terms with outside linebacker Randy Gregory.

The Dallas Cowboys announced on the team's social media accounts Tuesday morning that Gregory had agreed to a deal to return to the team, but multiple Broncos sources later confirmed that he instead is joining Denver. The deal is the same in basic construction: five years, $70 million, with $28 million of guarantees largely coming in the first two years.

A source told ESPN's Ed Werder that salary-forfeiture language the Cowboys include in player contracts that led Gregory to back out of his agreement is standard for them but not commonly used by other teams. The Cowboys now have "high interest" in Von Miller depending on his financial expectations, the source said.

The clause Gregory objected to -- voiding his contract if fined/suspended for any drug offense or violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy -- was not included in his previous Cowboys contract and also wasn't mentioned in Monday's contract talks that lasted until midnight, a source told Werder. When questioned about the clause, the Cowboys said that it is included in every Dallas player contract but Dak Prescott's, the source told Werder.

The Broncos had done extensive due diligence on Gregory's past suspensions before free agency opened, and the team's personnel department had graded Gregory as one of the top edge rushers available. The team had negotiated throughout Monday with Gregory's representatives in hopes of a deal.

Denver also agreed to re-sign linebacker Josey Jewell to a two-year, $11 million contract Tuesday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Broncos general manager George Paton said at the NFL scouting combine that Jewell is "completely recovered'' from the torn pectoral he suffered in Week 2 last season.

Gregory, 29, joins Bradley Chubb as the starting outside linebackers in the Broncos' 3-4 defense. The Broncos are hopeful that Gregory can continue his career resurgence.

Because of a variety of injuries and suspensions, Gregory has never started more than 11 games in a season nor finished with more than six sacks.

His change of heart isn't the first time the Broncos have lured a free agent who appeared to be headed elsewhere late in the process. In 2014 they finished the terms on a deal with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders' representatives while Sanders was at the Kansas City Chiefs' complex on a visit.

That was also the year the Broncos signed DeMarcus Ware, who had been released by the Cowboys. Like Ware, Gregory wore No. 94 with Dallas.

Gregory's signing and the trade for quarterback Russell Wilson give the Broncos two of the most impactful moves in the league over the past two weeks.

After missing two full seasons and 14 games in another because of suspensions for multiple violations of the league's substance abuse policy, Gregory became one of the Cowboys' best pass-rushers and was added to the players' leadership council by head coach Mike McCarthy in 2021.

Gregory made a career-high 11 starts last season, missing time because of a calf strain and COVID-19. He had 19 tackles, a tackle for loss, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and an interception, while matching his career high with six sacks.

The Cowboys selected Gregory in the second round of the 2015 draft after off-field issues hurt his status. After missing most of the 2016 season and all of 2017, Gregory put up six sacks in 14 games during the 2018 season, missing two matchups for injury.

He was suspended for the full season in 2019 and the first six games of 2020, but the Cowboys remained loyal to Gregory, signing him to a one-year extension.

Sources: Tennessee Titans plan to release WR Julio Jones​

ESPN

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are planning to release wide receiver Julio Jones, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini on Wednesday.

Jones was signed through the 2024 season. It is likely he will be released with a post-June 1 designation, giving the Titans $9.5 million in salary-cap savings.

The Titans acquired Jones last year along with a 2023 sixth-round draft pick from the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick. The move was supposed to provide much-needed balance to Tennessee's passing attack.

Jones, however, appeared in just 10 games because of injuries and had career lows with 31 receptions for 434 yards and just one touchdown reception.

"It looked like we were headed in the right direction and then had some setbacks along the way," Titans general manager Jon Robinson said at the NFL scouting combine. "Unfortunately, he wasn't out there enough to really make an impact week after week. When he was out there, he helped our football team. But it was one of those things that seemed like a nick every week that we were trying to work through. That's a balance that you always work through as players' careers start to get a little longer. You see some things and wonder if that was an isolated instance or is this going to be a repetitive thing."

It was the second straight season Jones was limited by injury. He appeared in just nine games for the Falcons in 2020.

The Titans will now have A.J. Brown and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as the top receivers on their depth chart after Jones' release.

Brown paid tribute to Jones on Wednesday, tweeting: "You have taught me a lot in a short period of time. I'm grateful to be apart of you journey. You're the reason why I started to begin to play this game. A HOF receiver is what you are and what I strive to be one day. Thank you, I'll take it from here! Salute!"



The Falcons drafted Jones sixth overall in 2011, sending multiple picks to Cleveland to be able to take the Alabama standout. Atlanta, when it moved up to acquire Jones, traded its first-round pick in 2011 (No. 26), its second-round pick, two fourth-round picks and its 2012 first-round pick.

Jones, 33, is the Falcons' career leader in catches (848) and yards (12,896) and is second to Roddy White in touchdown receptions (63). His 91.9 receiving yards per game is the best per-game average in NFL history.


I'm actually a bit surprised that the Titans released Julio. They should have at least give him another season to improve on a disastrous 2021 campaign.

But, that gives the team more salary cap space, which I'm pretty happy about that.
