The #Falcons have received calls from teams inquiring about possible trades for All-Pro WR Julio Jones, sources say. A trade could not happen for cap reasons before June 1, but teams know Atlanta’s brutal cap situation and are calling. A deal won’t happen now, but later? Maybe.

Get him to greenbay if they believe in Aaron.

I could see the chargers getting him

Isn’t he pretty far into his contract or did he sign a new one in the last year or 2? Falcons seem to be desperate on Oline and at times Dline, they could use some help there. JJ is a monster though

GB doesn’t do big time trades. They refuse to go “win now” mode

If the Falcons go QB in the draft I could see them trading Julio.

They should trade both QB and Julio if they are truly going rebuild

Would need to go to a team with decent WR depth where they wouldn’t be completely reliant on him being an every down player.

Feel like he needs as little wear and tear as possible now. If you could keep him healthy as a part time player he could still be a matchup nightmare.

Youd think maybe Dolphins with all the draft capital they have. But they could get a much younger model in Chase. Eagles maybe?

Send him to New Orleans, you know since Joe Horn signed with ATL. Lol i know this would never happen but a guy can dream.

I’d honestly want my QB of the future investment learning under Ryan for a year - dude is the consummate professional.

If I were ATL tho I’d take the TE and give it a whirl one last time.

The team that trades for him will take a $15 million cap hit. Which team has the cap space and are close enough to Super Bowl contention to take that on?

who the hell knows as far as contention goes...

but the teams with the space to do it are:
Jacksonville
Denver
NYJ
Cincy
Indianapolis
Detroit
Cleveland
LA Chargers
San Francisco
Washington
New England

The Chiefs, Cardinals, Ravens, and Texans could afford it with a few other cuts

Get Wilson Julio and grow. Division is open atleast


SF could be interesting if they get a QB who can throw downfield

Imagine being a young QB drafted by the Falcons... only to not have Julio Jones.

3 years / $22m per for his contract - I doubt they get much in return for him.

Sure with the contract, but remember Sanu warranted a 2nd rounder from NE. Julio is arguably the top WR in the league (when he plays), definitely a top 5 guy. I'd want some sort of 1st for that.
