Jones is a franchise legend who deserves a chance to end his tenure with Atlanta on a better note than a phone call on a debate show. Julio is injury prone and not the monster he once was, however, when healthy he can still impact the game and would be a great mentor for Pitts and London.
Giving Ridder a reliable veteran who can help a young and inexperienced receiving group is a must whether that is Julio or not. Jones has spent two seasons outside of Atlanta with the Titans and Bucs each year watching his role and production go down.
Atlanta can afford to bring the veteran back and clearly offer him a role. The Falcons need to add veteran depth at the position and Jones would be the best option.
