Just about everyone knew that if the Atlanta Falcons were to trade Julio Jones, it would be after June 1.
However, many didn’t realize it could come as late as training camp, which begins towards the end of July.
That’s right, New England Patriots fans. If your team is indeed interested in acquiring the All-Pro wide receiver, it might not be for another six weeks!
Why? Because June 1 was merely the first day in which the Falcons knew they could save millions in dead cap.
