The Tennessee Titans are acquiring receiver Julio Jones in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons, the Falcons confirmed Sunday.
“The Falcons have agreed on terms of a trade that will send the seven-time Pro Bowler to the Tennessee Titans for a compensation package that includes a 2022 second-round NFL Draft pick, ending weeks of speculation about whether Jones would remain with the team that drafted him in 2011. All told, the Falcons will get a second-round pick next year and a 2023 fourth-round pick for Jones and a sixth-round pick in 2023.
“In addition to the high draft pick and the 2023 selection, Sunday’s trade comes after June 1, which changes the transaction’s impact on the Falcons salary cap. It creates substantial 2021 salary-cap space and splits his cap hit to give the Falcons welcome relief over multiple seasons.”
To say Falcons fans were pissed about this would be a gross understatement. Many took to Twitter and blasted the team for not only trading Jones but only getting a second round pick.
