June 1st is upon us which means after 4PM today, the Eagles will find themselves with around $4.2M in cap space when factoring in their rookie contracts. This is thanks to a huge $7.8M injection thanks to the post-June 1st designations of Malik Jackson and Alshon Jeffery. As soon as it was made public that Julio Jones was seeking a trade, Eagles fans lobbied to the occasion and after today, a move is that much more plausible…but it shouldn’t be.
Making the case to acquire Julio Jones is an easy one.
