 Just wanted to check in with you on the Julio Jones situation. If you all talk to, and is there a possible reconciliation in this situation? I'll do that. Like any private conversation I have with our players is going to remain private on my end. And I'm not going to sit here and comment on any potential roster moves we may or may not make. Okay. So John, well, the, any reaction to his comment yesterday that he's out of here? Look, we encourage our players to, they should speak for themselves. And so I'm not going to comment. It doesn't change anything for us. I mean, we understand what our plan is moving forward. And we have, like I said, we have multiple private conversations with our players. And those are conversations that are going to remain private on my end. Jeff Schnells. Arthur, do you have any thoughts about one of your best players walking down the sidewalk with the Dallas Cowboys hoodie on? Jeff, again, I don't speculate on stuff like that. I don't even know really what you're talking about. So do you, do you think given all that's happened that this is a, a fixable situation? I mean, could you still foresee a scenario that with everything that's happened that Julio Jones could still play for you? Jeff just kind of told me, we have multiple private conversations with our players and remain private and I'm not going to publicly comment on any potential roster moves. Terry and I talked multiple times a day about the roster. That's pretty common. People talk all the time. Other other teams and general managers is kind of how business is done, but I'm not going to comment publicly on any potential moves. Mike Rothstein. Yeah. Hey, Arthur, you said you have a plan going forward. Is Julio part of that plan? Michael, anytime you're in this business, you're going to have multiple plans. We understand our cap situation is and we got multiple plans before we get into training camp, how we're going to get under. Right. But I mean, sir, are there plans that exist then that don't have Julio in the fold? Michael, I'm not going to comment again on these private conversations we have and any potential we have multiple plans and there are multiple options for us to get under the cap at the time we hit the training kit. Paul Newberry. Paul Newberry. Yeah. Sorry. I got to get, get unmuted there. I know you said, I guess you're not going to talk about Julio, but does where we're not having him leave your ride receiver position? Obviously, you've made a signing today. Announced a signing today. Can you any, just any comment on that position with him in or not in it? We've been very active in making transactions with our roster. Any move we're due is to get the best 90 guys as we can get into camp and create competition on here. So that's, that's what all those roster moves. That's been that way since Terry and I got here. This, I, like you said, you've, you look at your roster construction and you've looked at multiple plans. What is, is there any way you could comment without having a guy that's been such a big part of that the last decade? What can you can do at that position if he's not available? We got so much respect, appreciation, what Julio Jones is down here for this franchise and what he's been to the city. Like I said earlier, we have conversation about our roster all the time. There's things that happen. You have to have contingency plans. There's so many things that happen during the NFL season, whether you're dealing with transactions, you're dealing with injuries, got to have multiple plans to go play a 17 game season. And we're trying to get the best guy on this roster. We have great competition going into camp. Kelsey Connelly. Hey coach. What are your OTAs going to look like and what are you hoping to accomplish in this block of OTAs? Yeah. So we, we've got the majority of our guys here. We're excited. It was the first team meeting I've had in person and these guys are excited to get, get out on the field and get to work. And as we get into this off season, it's voluntary off season program and it's all about teaching development. So we're excited as we build this thing going and as an objective is to be in the best shape. We can't be getting into training camp. We understand it's a long process. We're excited about the first day OTAs. And then in the receiver group, I know you were just talking about it a little bit, but what have been your impressions? I know it's been a short period of time on the field, but of players like Russell Gage and obviously Calvin. Yeah. I mean, we're excited about Russell and Calvin. We're excited about what they did last year and what the potential is moving forward. But like I said, the more competition we get at every spot, the better off we're going to be in the long run. Tori McLean. Yeah. Coach, did Julio ask for a trade before the draft? Yeah. Tori, I'm not going to kind of, my door is always open. My phone's always on. And there's a level of trust that we want to build here with the players. All the players know that. But again, on my end, we have private conversations. Those are private and I'm going to keep it that way. Yeah. I know you're talking about, you know, having meetings, voluntary stuff, but has Julio been sent a playbook or anything or breaking down a schedule of what y'all are doing this off season? Everybody that's on this roster and everything has been communicated to them. Every team that I've been a part of, you have multiple ways to communicate. There's nothing really there, but all 90 guys on a roster, they know that, they get communicated to. Justin Felder. I certainly respect keeping private conversations private and not wanting to go into detail. But what would the message to fans be about the potential of a franchise player, many of their favorite player? Sandy doesn't want to be here. What would the message to fans be about, you know, their future for a guy many of them have watched for a long time? Again, we have great appreciation and respect for Julio, what he's done here and for all the players that have been part of this Falcons organization. Look, Justin, it's a tough business. We all signed up for players and coaches will understand that, but everything we do here is going to be well thought out and it's going to be handled behind the scenes with dignity with the players. And that'll be this, as long as I'm here, that's the way it'll be done. So again, we understand the business that we're in, but every player here is treated with dignity. And what you just said, handling it behind the scenes and with dignity, you guys really hadn't said any, you know, really talked about this much. Julio hadn't talked about this much up until yesterday. Is there any disappointment on your end that has now kind of come out into the public the way it has? Look, I said earlier, we encourage our guys, they should speak for themselves. I think that's the way it should be. So any time a player wants to speak for himself, not anybody on this roster, they should. So that doesn't change anything. Is that fine? Coach, you said it's a tough business and you're a tough spot, but you're the head coach of this team. I just find it really hard to believe that you said you don't speculate and don't know what we're talking about when you see arguably the best receiver in the game wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey. How does the head coach of the Falcons not know one of his best players wearing another team's jersey or sweatshirt? And I collect news. I love to read news and see it. Got a motto on social media. So again, you're gonna have to maybe somebody, maybe Jeff can can text it to me, snapshot. So it's irrelevant. I don't like wear whatever you want. It doesn't. I don't care. So Matt Ryan wears a St. Jersey. That's irrelevant. Again, players can speak for themselves. Zach, you can wear whatever. You got a multiple jersey back there. What do you got back there? You got a brave jersey. You got the University of Georgia. I have a Ryan jersey. You're all planted out. But I mean, if you go in there and you want to wear a Patriot jersey, good for you, Zach. And finally, if I were to talk to you in a month, how do you define a successful OTA? We're on the teach and developing stage right here. So we're trying to put our systems in here. And this is the next step. We've been meeting virtually. So our objective is to go out there and assess and see where we're at mentally and checking our alignments and our assignments as we build this thing. It's a building phase as we're trying to get these guys ready to go for training camp. Michael Cunningham. You still meeting Mike. All right. Move on. Steve Weiss. Oh, there you go, Mike. No question. Go ahead. Steve Weiss. Hey, Arthur, in handling all this, you talked about you want to be around players who want to be here. So what is the message when you take the field today with these guys and they're out there about the guys who want to be there and pushing them, but then also maybe trying to keep the conversation away from a star player who says he doesn't want to be there? You know, we go back here. We're excited about the guys that are here. This is a voluntary program, and that's the way it should be. And that's what was collectively bargained on. And so the guys that are out here, we're trying to take what we've done virtually, and it's just a building block to go out here and learn. But look, we've got some really good veterans here and guys have different ways to get themselves ready to roll. So as long as they're ready to roll with a training camp, that's really all mapped. Okay, great. I'm good. Diana Rossini. Steve's a smart guy. He took some of my question there, Coach. But that being said, I actually, I just want to add to it, Arthur, you're doing this all for the first time as a head coach. Now you have a, your star player doesn't want to be there. You have in-person meetings for the first time. You referenced your messaging. What actually has been your message to the team yesterday when you finally actually got to talk to them in person? Well, we got our first in-person today. We did a virtual yesterday. Today will be our first OTA. The message has been pretty clear as we're trying to build this. And my message to the team is what our objective is. So when you go out on OTA, we're not really concerned about the other 31 teams. Our players know exactly what to expect out there. Like I said, this is a teach and developing stage for us. And these guys are excited. We've got the majority of our guys here and they're excited. And we'll always coach the guys that show up. Mary and Martin. Coach, you've said in the past that the mentality of this franchise is to win now and you guys want to win now. So how frustrating is it for you when you hear a guy like Julio Jones, a veteran and a face of this franchise, basically insinuate that he can't win in Atlanta? I respect everybody's opinion. We all have opinions. Like I expect everybody to take and wear what they want to wear, say what you want to say. I mean, that's fine. That's healthy. But look, I don't think it's really earth shattering. When you get a headline, a pro football coach expects to win. I mean, I think you had coaching in the NFL expects to win. I don't think that's a really big headline there. And then as far as Calvin Ridley is concerned, in the conversations that you've had with him, how confident are you that he could be a leader in that wide receiver room? Look, leadership comes in all shapes and sizes. I don't sit here and try to kick these guys to be cookie cutter and say, hey, you got to act a certain way. We like these guys to be themselves. And guys can lead in their own ways. And usually the more productive guys, guys gravitate towards. And we're excited about Calvin and the potential that he brings to our football team this season. Mike Giordi to Nature Batiste. Good morning, coach. Last week, Matt Ryan said that you hold your best players accountable. And I know you're okay with players speaking up. But with a bet and a best player like Julio making comments like you did yesterday and in your first year where he's part of, you know, setting the tone here, will there be accountability for him if Julio does remain with the Falcons? Look, anything we talk about privately is going to remain private behind the scenes. And that's for every player. Look, really excited about these guys that are here today that we're getting ready to go out in the field and work with. There's always something that's going to come up and that's part of the job description. You know what you signed up for. You know, like problems stay out of leadership. But we're excited about the guys that are here. Everybody that'll be here in training camp. And so we'll deal with that with anything that comes up. Every day is going to be something. So we're excited and we'll deal with it as it comes my way. Thanks, coach. Thanks. Time for a few ball of steel. Do you have one? Yeah, coach. I just want to know is this situation reconcilable? You know, I'm not going to speculate again, not going to comment on any potential issues with the roster moving forward. And like I continue to say, you know, our conversations that I have with the players remain private on my head. Is that a yes or no? That's a I'm not going to comment on any conversation I have with the player that's private on my head. Mike Rothstein, you have one? I can hear you out there though Mike. There you go. Sorry about that. I'm using my phone. I just want to kind of get more clarity on what Tori asked about the playbook. Has Julio Jones been given a playbook or not? Look guys, we everything that today is age. It's all virtual. These guys have multiple ways to get we communicate. I think just about probably every other team and NFL major college football, everything is available to our players on the roster. So that includes the playbook and includes game plan, whatever he is, whatever you are giving everybody else you are also giving Julio Jones. Pretty cut and dry here. Everybody that's on the roster has access to everything we give out to players. We don't know games being played there, Mike. Tori McElhaney, you have one? No, I'm good. Thank you. Paul Newberry. One more thing I want, is there any more of a general with the situation swirling around? Is there any concern about what impact it has on the rest of the guys and what you're trying to do just here with OTAs? I know you'd like to get this off to a good positive start. Is there any concern with this hanging over as you go out on the field with the guys you have today? All right, good time for one last one, Jeff Schultz. Arthur, I'm just wondering beyond Julio or any other veterans not participate in OTAs? Jeff, as I can say, this is voluntary. We've got the majority of our guys here and we're excited. Things are going to come up. Life happens. It's kind of time of year. But we've got the majority of our players here and we're excited about getting ready to get out on the field and work with them today. So I'm sorry, when you say the majority of the players are there, does that mean all of the other players are there except for Julio or any others missing? The majority of our guys, I guess, are you here today? Because you could probably go out there. I'm not here. I'm not. It's voluntary for me too. Nice. So let me get Tori to fill you in.
