There have been rumblings for some time that star wide receiver Julio Jones could be traded—rumblings that kicked into overdrive when the 32-year-old said in reference to his status with the Atlanta Falcons, "I'm outta there."
Well, Jones' prediction came to fruition Sunday, when the seven-time Pro Bowler was traded to the Tennessee Titans. It's a move that sent shockwaves across the AFC—and vaults the Titans toward the top of the list of candidates to dethrone the Kansas City Chiefs atop the conference.
With the Falcons up against the salary cap and Jones reportedly desiring to play for a contender as his career winds down, the 11th-year veteran had been linked to a fistful of teams over the past couple of weeks.
