3 reasons why the Atlanta Falcons should trade Julio Jones
Apr. 17, 2024 – 31:43 – Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has been the subject of trade rumors on a near never-ending loop over the past few seasons. That did not change once he signed a three-year, $66 million extension back in September of 2019.

Schultz makes some darn good points. Let’s expand on these in taking a look at three reasons why the Atlanta Falcons should trade Julio Jones.
