Prior to the 2021 NFL Draft the Ravens inquired about the availability of Julio Jones via trade. The asking price was a 2022 No. 1 pick, a cost that was deemed prohibitive by GM Eric DeCosta. Following the draft, the market value for Jones eroded a bit as did Atlanta’s asking price.
On Sunday we learned that the Titans acquired Jones for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 fourth-round pick. The Titans also picked up the Falcons 2023 sixth-round pick.
So, on the surface, the Titans get a future Hall of Fame player for a very fair price.
