3 reasons why the Atlanta Falcons robbed the Titans in Julio trade

The second reason why Atlanta robbed Tennessee: No more managing his health and snap counts

This is along the same lines of the past reason, but it does have more to do with the stress it puts on the Atlanta Falcons coaches.

Julio Jones requires a lot of attention, whether that is from the opposing defense, the medical staff, or the coaches.

He requires his workload to be limited due to all the wear and tear he has endured over his Hall of Fame career. It puts a lot of stress on the coaches, and surely the Titans realized that real quick once they brought him over.

Now, this is not to say it is not worth it, because if Julio is healthy, there are few, if any, players who can do what he does—but the keyword is “if” he is healthy.

Jones and the coaches must go through a plan on how to keep him on a balance of being ready for the upcoming game but not putting too much stress on his body. This is not something any player without his pedigree would be allowed to do, it would require a ton of work from all parties, while also taking patience from the staff.

If there was one thing the Falcons do not miss, it is this, it takes stress off of many people. It allows the coaches to focus on what they need to be focusing on and not have to explain to the team why Julio does not have to practice like the rest of them.

It is a stress that Atlanta shipped over to Tennessee for a second-round pick.
