Falcons should never have provided a time frame for new deal for Julio

Of course, Atlanta Falcons fans are becoming increasingly worried about why a deal has not been completed yet. Both sides agreed more than a year ago that a new deal would get done before the start of the 2019 regular season.

Falcons’ owner Arthur Blank, general manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Dan Quinn have all talked at length about a deal being in place before the start of the regular season.

That guarantee could prove to be a fatal flaw for the Falcons. The organization should never have put a specific time frame in place, this should have been a fluid negotiation, not one with a deadline.
