![]() In 2021 Godwin would amass 1,103 yards with an 11.3 yard per reception average, and a 8.7 yard per target average. Additionally 2016 was a season where jones hit his career average catch percentage right on the dot (64.3%). Godwin had 127 in 2021 with Jones being targeted 129 times in 2016. The second, is the amount of targets each received. First, both players only played in 14 games for the regular season in those years. I chose the 2016 season for Jones because it has some similarities that make comparison easier. I am ready to go.” Godwin’s 2021/Jones’ 2016 Bowles has stated the wide receiver has “returned to his old self”.Īdditionally, Jones himself told reporters “I feel amazing,” and “I don’t have anything that is lingering, anything that is holding me back, anything that I am unsure about. We are also going to make an large assumption based on the word of head coach Todd Bowles and Jones himself. To do so we will compare two similar seasons, Godwin’s season last year (2021) and Julio Jones’ 2016 season.

Taking a run at Jones seemed to make a lot of sense given their current approach to doing business. They executed that blockbuster trade to acquire Lance, made 32-year-old Trent Williams the highest-paid offensive lineman in football and called the Green Bay Packers when word leaked about Aaron Rodgers being unhappy there. Jones also produced some of his best work during that time, and the Niners haven't exactly been shy about going after deals to improve their team. After all, Shanahan was the Falcons' offensive coordinator (from 2015-16) before taking his current job as the 49ers' head coach. But if the Falcons were willing to deal Jones for a second- and fourth-round pick, the 49ers should've been more aggressive. Kyle Shanahan: It was hard to see the 49ers pursuing Jones when talk of a first-round pick being necessary was floating around the league (especially since the 49ers don't have one for the next two years because of the trade that resulted in them drafting quarterback Trey Lance). Fontenot also can start pondering how best to deal with next major challenge: the future of quarterback Matt Ryan. He can think about building an offense around the talents of wide receiver Calvin Ridley and tight end Kyle Pitts, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft. A second- and fourth-rounder made way more sense, so Fontenot deserves credit for what he did get out of this contract. Ultimately, it would've been stunning if Atlanta had received its reported asking price for Jones, which was a first-round pick. Jones didn't help matters when he gave an impromptu nationally televised interview and told FS1's Shannon Sharpe that he wasn't planning on coming back to Atlanta, which hurt whatever leverage Fontenot was trying to utilize in negotiations. ![]() The Falcons were mired in salary cap hell and he had an aging star with a huge contract. Terry Fontenot: Fontenot knew he faced a major challenge as soon as he accepted the job as Atlanta's general manager.
