Julio Jones is the greatest receiver in Falcons history, and even those who were angry when he pushed to be traded away from Atlanta either recognize that now or will with a little time and distance. At the time he was moved to the Titans for a 2022 second round pick and 2023 fourth round pick, there was plenty of angst about not getting enough for a franchise icon.
A year later, it look like a masterstroke, one that we hope is the first of many for Terry Fontenot. That’s because Julio Jones was cut after one year with the Titans, 31 catches, 434 yards and a touchdown later, and the Falcons have two draft picks to show for that.
