Julio Jones publicly announced that he wants to play for a team where he can win now. And that’s exactly what the Titans have done over the past couple of years. They made the AFC Championship game in 2019 after being the 6th seed and then won the AFC South in 2020. Plus with an offense loaded with weapons, Julio Jones in Nashville will definitely fit in perfectly.

The Titans won the Julio Jones sweepstakes after the Falcons agreed to trade him for a 2nd round pick along with either a 5th round pick or a swap of other picks.
AJ Brown stoked to play with his idol growing up.
Julio Jones’ career has been nothing short of historic. The 7-time Pro-Bowler’s 10-year tenure in Atlanta set numerous records and will make a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he retires. So when AJ Brown found out that his idol was on the market, he didn’t leave the chance to shoot his shot.

The 32-year-old All-Pro will fit in perfectly with QB Ryan Tannehill. He was one of the league’s most efficient downfield passers last season. Thus Julio Jones in a Tennesse uniform will be very fun to see.
