Early indications show the Atlanta Falcons won the Julio Jones trade

The offseason for the Atlanta Falcons was nothing short of interesting. Going into it we all knew that it would be full of change, but no one would have thought that the change would extend as deep as it did.

Everyone knew how there would be a new head coach and a new general manager walking in the door, with that comes changes in philosophy and different players. That certainly showed itself early on with the free-agent signings and draft picks, but that was just the beginning of it.

Leading up to the draft, reports started leaking about Julio Jones being unsatisfied in Atlanta—and honestly who could blame him?

Many did not believe the reports prior to the draft, as they seemed to come out of left field, but as time went on things became even more real, especially when many people woke up to the news of Julio Jones saying he is not happy and wants to be traded, while on the phone with Shannon Sharpe. It broke the hearts of many.

Surely, most people know the story, Julio Jones ended up being traded to the Tennessee Titans for a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

At the time it did not seem like good enough compensation for arguably the best player in franchise history, however, now that we are close to the midway point of Julio Jones’s first season as a Titan, it seems like it was more than enough for Atlanta.

Here are three reasons why the Atlanta Falcons fleeced the Tennessee Titans in the Julio Jones trade:
