Trade for Julio?

The fact the teams didn't see the need to keep him around shows what they actually thought, no matter how you'd like to frame it they didn't think he was worth keeping. Recovering something back for him helps but in context to this discussion no one is flipping 34 year old Julio Jones at the end of two years for another 1st.

As for Bradford, he was injury-prone at that moment and had never had any real success. Jimmy has been to a SB and was one missed deep ball from a championship, which helps perceived value and desirability. I think they get a 2nd for him, I guess we will find out.

Except they were not consuming the 1st round pick. The Patriots spent a 1st round pick, got 1 year of a player who helped them go to the SB, and then got a 1st round pick right back. They got a 1 year rental of a player who helped reach the SB in exchange for simply delaying their 1st round pick by a year. 

That is an amazing deal. There's no "frame" needed.

I find it interesting that you demand of Bradford to support your demand of Jimmy G theory, but you find demand of Cooks to be a damning indication that it was bad.
