Julio Jones traded to Tennessee

I don’t think that trading for Jones would make the Seahawks a better team.

Whats the over/under for number of games before Metcalf goes off about not getting enough targets?

You had to know it was going to happen.

Do you mean more shit thrown against the wall? No one in the media seems to know crap in my opinion. At this rate, we'll hear about the Bucs or maybe even a CFL team trading for Julio Jones

I joked about it earlier but Jones to Green Bay makes a lot of sense. Appease Rodgers by adding another top target.

But who/what do they have to trade? A first rounder would be late. Maybe Atlanta wants something higher? The Packers greatest strength was their Oline that was just weakened by the free agent loss of their center. They are always trying to fix the defense. Would they trade away one of Za'Darius Smith, Jaire Alexander, or Darnell Savage??

It feels like this might be the only way everyone saves face to keep Rodgers in Green Bay.

Am I the only pathetic soul that checks nfl.com a few times a day to see if Rodgers was traded to Denver yet?

Having Brees and Rodgers out of our way is like parting the Red Sea. All we have to do is walk through without self imploding.

If he stays healthy that is a big get for Titans. Poor Josh Reynolds just got screwed from a potential starting job lol.

Falcons trading WR Julio Jones to Titans

Julio Jones gave the Atlanta Falcons a decade of dominance. They returned the favor by honoring his trade request.

The Falcons have agreed to trade their star wideout to the Titans for at least a second-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The deal may not be official for another few days, with Jones still needing to take a physical, Rapoport added.

But after several weeks of speculation, Jones is getting his wish. And so is A.J. Brown. Tennessee's young wide receiver has been recruiting his "idol" for weeks, privately and through social media, going so far as to offer Jones his No. 11. Brown soon recanted after being told he couldn't have No. 1, which has been retired for Hall of Famer Warren Moon.

The Titans now add another a future Hall of Famer in Jones. The seven-time Pro Bowler has been the league's most prolific receiver over the past 10 seasons -- and almost any 10 seasons. His recent play doesn't suggest he's in decline, either. He'd made five consecutive All-Pro teams prior to laboring through a 2020 campaign on a strained hamstring. Despite appearing in just nine games, Jones still collected 51 catches for 771 yards, his 15.1 yards per catch right in line with his career average (15.2).

He leaves Atlanta with a plethora of franchise and NFL records on his resume, including receiving yards per game (95.5). He'll arrive in Tennessee as a fascinating piece in what could be a championship puzzle. The Titans are defending AFC South champs and just one year removed from a conference title game appearance. But their early exit in last year's playoffs combined with key defections -- Arthur Smith shedding his offensive coordinator duties to become the Falcons' coach is tops among them -- altered outside expectations for Tennessee.

Adding Jones, as Atlanta can attest when it selected him in the first round of the 2011 draft, immediately changes the narrative. The 32-year-old would appear to be an ideal fit alongside Ryan Tannehill, who was again one of the league's most efficient downfield passers last year. That figures to be a more prominent tactic for Tennessee moving forward given the 1-2 punch with Brown and the workload Derrick Henry has had to carry the past two years.

Good! Into the AFC, Julio… Aaron Rodgers, next!

 

[Angry Ram]

Good for them. That O could be pretty good. Julio will get a 50 yard bomb but get stopped short of the endzone (again), and Derrick Henry will get his 1 yard TD.

 

[dieterbrock]

Worst kept secret in sports. You knew he was going there. Just a matter of when

 

[Neil039]

But I thought we were in the mix

 

[PARAM]

Good for Julio.....going to a playoff team.
Good for the Rams......not going to SF or Seattle
Good for DK Metcalf.....the whining won't start before the season.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Yes, AFC trade is good for us. Will definitely make Tennessee a tough team tho and favorites in the AFC.

Tennessee is an interesting team. In an arms race with the Colts for the division first off and they had a really nice draft. They took two of my favorite players in the draft in Radunz and Weaver, and their top pick Farley is a damn freak. Farley has some rare ability and natural size/gifts. So I'm of the mind that their roster just got a big shot in the arm between the draft and now bringing in Jones.

My favorite fallback from Rams games is division rivalries and that's looking like a great one. On the other side a Colts team built by a real good GM who has a long term vision and a roster that is excellent across the board. Looks like a really intriguing storyline for 2021.

Jags should be improved, Texans stay about the same… Yeah… It sure looks like Tennessee vs Colts for that division.

This makes a LOT of sense for Tennessee, and looks good... A.J. Brown on the other side.
