Julio Jones is reportedly headed to the Tennessee Titans.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Atlanta Falcons are shipping Jones to the Titans for a second round pick in 2022 and a fourth round pick in 2023. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The Titans now add arguably the best receiver in the league.
Sources: The #Falcons are trading All-Pro WR Julio Jones to the #Titans in exchange for at least a 2nd round pick. A blockbuster for Tennessee, who now gets the coveted big-play threat. And Atlanta ends up with very nice value.

Full terms:
The #Falcons get a 2022 2nd round pick and Atlanta gets the titans 4 in 2023 and they give back their 6 in 2023.

The #Titans have been the front runner all along. Now, they land their big-time weapon https://t.co/sOPXQOpkIY

This is a huge move from the Titans, and it shows how much they’re committed to making a Super Bowl run immediately.
Remember, they’ve put together back-to-back solid seasons, but have never been able to punch their ticket all the way.
When the deal is completed the #Falcons will not only say goodbye to a franchise icon in a mutually beneficial way, they will also have enough cap space to sign their draft picks. https://t.co/sOPXQOpkIY

Now, Ryan Tannehill has weapons all over the field, and he’ll have Julio Jones to air it out to. If you’re an opposing defensive coordinator, you have to be terrified right now.
The #Titans deal for Julio Jones:
— The #Falcons get a 2022 2nd rounder and a 2023 4th rounder.
— The #Titans get Julio Jones & a 6th rounder in 2023.
— The #Titans take on Jones’ salary of $15.3M in 2021 and the rest of the deal.
— #Falcons have $7.75M in dead money this year.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 6, 2021
The Titans are geared up for a monster year, and it should be a ton of fun to watch.
