Sources: Falcons likely to trade Jones to Titans

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to trade Julio Jones to the Tennessee Titans, barring any setbacks, in the next 24 to 48 hours, according to sources.

The two sides still are finalizing compensation but, as one source said, “I feel very good about this.”

Sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Falcons and Titans discussing whether the package for Julio Jones will be a second- and a fifth-round pick, or a second-round pick with a swap of other picks.

If there are no snags, the trade would be processed as early as Monday.

Titans players Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown have expressed, on social media, their interest in having Jones as a teammate. Late last month, Brown posted a TikTok video to Jones explaining why the Titans would be the perfect fit for the star receiver.

The Titans lost two of their top pass catchers in free agency as wide receiver Corey Davis signed with the New York Jets and tight end Jonnu Smith signed with the New England Patriots.
