he Falcons keep Beasley on his current deal."When the Falcons picked up Vic Beasley’s fifth-year option last offseason it was definitely the right move despite the pass rusher’s down year. Beasley is the only player you could mention along with John Abraham Color Rush Qadree Ollison Jersey , the team’s last truly dominant pass rusher that was cut loose a few seasons too soon.After an uninspiring 2018 it felt unlikely that the Falcons would keep Beasley. His option will cost the team $12.8 million, a surprising number considering he has had only 5 sacks in each of the last two seasons. Dan Quinn has since said the Falcons will keep Beasley, and he will be the focus of a more hands on approach. It still feels like far too much money.At least it felt like too much money before Dante Fowler’s one-year deal.Fowler will always be linked to Beasley as the two were the top pass rushers in the 2015 draft. Neither have played up to their potential so far in their career Qadree Ollison Atlanta Falcons Jersey , except for Beasley’s 2016 season. Fowler has only 16 career sacks thanks in part to to a torn ACL ending his rookie season. However, he had fewer sacks than Beasley in 2018, with a career high of only 8.0 sacks in 2017.As it turns out Youth Qadree Ollison Jersey , the going rate for a one-year rental on a young, incomplete pass rusher is right around $13 to $14 million per season. It felt like the Falcons were overpaying but good teams are paying up for the chance to develop a future Pro Bowl player. Whether that is money well spent or not depends on if the players take a step forward. Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff gave an update on two ongoing contract negotiations during an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, but there wasn’t much new to report about defensive tackle Grady Jarrett or wide receiver Julio Jones.There was a report in mid-April that the Falcons and Jones were not far apart on a new deal Black Desmond Trufant Jersey , but Dimitroff said there was no “timeframe” in place for a new deal. He said that wasn’t a worry for him, but he does have an eye on contracts for other wideouts around the league as talks with Jones continue.“I’m not concerned at all, but for the fact that … it is unbelievable where the numbers are going and the reality of it is that you have to be very mindful of the market and the market is dictating where Julio will be and we know that Desmond Trufant Jersey 2019 ,” Dimitroff said, via the .Jones said he doesn’t care about passing the likes of Antonio Brown and Odell Beckham to become the league’s highest-paid receiver, but one would imagine he wants to be in the same general neighborhood when it comes time to settle up with Atlanta.Jarrett signed his franchise tender Black Damontae Kazee Jersey , so he’s set to make $15.209 million if he can’t work out a long-term deal. Dimitroff expressed confidence the two sides could agree on a deal, but noted “we have a year to continue to talk about it.”
