Julio Jones has been a hot topic leading up to and now after the draft. Many writers have been putting odds of Jones being moved, considering the best destinations for the future Hall of Fame wide receiver, or even hoping (praying) he stays and continues to do special things with the offensive weapons that have been assembled in Atlanta. This morning, we’re looking at reports and rumors that suggest two things: There’s not a lot of current movement around trading Julio, but the team is still looking to create a market for his services.
Earlier, The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz wrote that the Falcons “would like” to trade Jones, and that as as anticipated, they view Julio and Grady Jarrett as the only two players they consider “viable options” to get them under the cap far enough to sign their draft class and any additional veterans they may want to pick up over the summer.
