It’s OK to be mad about the Julio Jones trade, and it’s also OK to be happy about it

The Julio Jones trade rumors have been swirling for months, and on Sunday, all of a sudden, they were no longer rumors. The Falcons traded the best receiver in franchise history to the Tennessee Titans.

In exchange for Jones, the Falcons receive a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-rounder, and the Falcons will ship a sixth-round pick back to Tennessee in 2023. Tennessee will also absorb Jones’ full contract, which leaves the Falcons on the hook this year for only the $7.75 million they owe to Jones from his option bonus and signing bonus.

Fans’ reactions to this news have been all over the place, and I’ve seen a ton of bickering and back-and-forth about it.
