Julio Jones has been mentioned in several trade rumors over the past few months.
During a recent episode of NBC Sports’ Boston Sports Tonight, Michael Holley reported that the Atlanta Falcons wide receiver would like to team up with New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton.
“You know who he [Jones] really wants to play with? You won’t believe this. I heard this today and I was like ‘Are you kidding me?’ He wants to play with Cam Newton. He likes Cam,” Holley said. “That’s the other thing: He thinks Matt Ryan has lost a little zing on his deep ball.”
The Patriots went crazy during free agency and would like to return to being competitive after losing Tom Brady last offseason and watching him win a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Newton finished the 2020 season with just 2,657 passing yards and eight touchdowns. Adding a guy like Julio Jones can improve those numbers greatly.
