The availability of Julio Jones on the transfer block, he’s a true rarity in the NFL. There are few occasions that a team is urged to part with an elite element due to salary and The Falcons’ precarious situation has piqued the interest of up to nine league organizations.
Seahawks
The Seattle Club is the most recent addition to the list of bidders. Russell Wilson and Julio Jones are interested in sharing a dressing room; however, the lack of a first-round pick in the 2022 Draft could hamper negotiations between the Seahawks and Falcons.
Rams
For a short time Sean McVay got into the fight for Jones to form a fearsome duo with Cooper Kupp and an enviable target to Matthew Stafford. However, Pro Football Talk pointed out that the Rams dropped out of the race by not having fruitful talks (Los Angeles will have first round of the draft until 2024).
Eagles
Another organization that has just joined the race is Philadelphia. For the moment, the details of the talks between the Falcons and the Eagles are unknown, who would deliver a luxury companion to the 2020 Heisman and newly recruited DeVonta Smith.
Titans
With the loss of Corey Davis, Mike Vrabel was interested in landing the starter who will play on the opposite side of AJ Brown. Despite the WR’s social media campaign to convince Jones, Tennessee doesn’t look like an organization that can acquire the Alabama graduate.
Patriots
Despite the signing of Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor in free agency, New England has been linked to Jones, most notably by the catcher’s desire to play with Cam Newton. Originally, The Massachusetts team seemed like Atlanta’s favorite, but that rumor has lost steam.
49ers
Kyle Shanahan openly stated his desire to incorporate Jones. In addition, it seems that the stars are aligned in favor of San Francisco; ESPN reported that the ‘Niners’ have taken the lead in acquiring Jones.
Ravens
In the first round of the 2021 Draft, Baltimore recruited Rashod Bateman and also signed Sammy Watkins. However, the general manager Eric DeCosta wants to put together a competitive air attack on Lamar Jackson and thus put an end to all the doubts that exist around the capacity of the QB. The condition of the transfer? A fair price for the Ravens.
Colts
Previo al Draft 2021 the Colts were interested in Julio Jones. As indicated SB Nation, the signing of Eric Fisher cooled down the claims of Indianapolis, who saw their economic possibilities diminished.
Chargers
Finally, the ‘Bolts’ were linked to Jones. Los Angeles is another club with enough offensive capital to put together an attack with the addition of the still member of the Falcons. Nevertheless, there is no clarity on a possible trade between Atlanta and the Chargers.
