Matt Ryan isn’t Ready to Talk About the Possibility of Life Without Julio Jones

Matt Ryan might not be ready to talk about the possibility of life without Julio Jones, but life without Julio could be a reality soon.  It's been rumored for most of the off-season that the Falcons could trade their star receiver.

Matt Ryan on what an offense without Julio Jones would look like: "I don't know."

Said he didn't want to go down a hypothetical road but...

"He's probably impacted my career more significantly than any other player."

Trading Julio after June 1 would clear up more than $15 million in cap space this season.  That prospect is an appealing one and one that general manager Terry Fontenot is considering.

As much as Ryan doesn't want to think about it, it is a real possibility.  All good things, even ones that don't put a ton of hardware on the franchise's shelves, come to an end.
