Atlanta Falcons superstar receiver Julio Jones is clearly one of the best in the game, and he’s produced for the Falcons for a very long time. Sometimes relationships don’t last an entire career, and now it looks like the Falcons are finally ready to part ways with their star receiver. The Atlanta Falcons are looking to trade wide receiver Julio Jones, The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz reports.
Teams that could possibly be in the market for Jones include: Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco #49ers, New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers, per the report.

Julio ranks among the best to ever lace em up:

The Falcons trading Julio Jones while passing on Justin Fields in favor of Kyle Pitts makes no sense.
It’d also be extremely Falcons.

Not once in The Athletic's reporting is the mention of the 2022 cap ramifications of dealing Julio Jones post-June 1. Trading Julio doesn't get the #Falcons out of the "cap hell" waters. https://t.co/NMeTcO3a1B

Having said that, I would be miserable if they traded Julio Jones.

The Falcons definitely seem ready to move on from Julio.
Whoever gets him better make sure they have a QB to throw him the damn ball.
