Shortly after any potential Browns-Aaron Rodgers rumors stopped in their tracks early, the ascending team will pass on the latest big name connected to a trade.
Cleveland is not interested in Julio Jones, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Mary Kay Cabot, who adds no Odell Beckham Jr.-for-Jones swap should be expected. Despite a rocky start in Ohio, which has involved trade rumblings, Beckham remains a player the Browns are high on. They are eager to see him back healthy in 2021, with Cabot adding the team has no plans to adjust its receiver room — which houses OBJ, Jarvis Landry and the recently re-signed Rashard Higgins — at this juncture.

While Cleveland did not profile as a Jones fit, Super Bowl aspirations notwithstanding, New England does. The Patriots have held internal discussions on the future Hall of Fame wideout, but the franchise known to make a splashy receiver trade from time to time may sit this one out. At this point, the Patriots’ interest in Jones is tepid, according to SI.com’s Albert Breer.
The Patriots reside in the top 10 in cap space ($15MM-plus), but they have not signed their top three draft picks. That will account for a few million. Though New England could move some funds around, the Falcons having a first-rounder on the table may change the equation for the Pats. Atlanta would surely prefer to send Jones to the AFC, but if an NFC team is the only one offering a first, that may well take precedence.
New England signed Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne early in free agency, with Agholor collecting more guaranteed money than all but two 2021 UFA receivers (Kenny Golladay and Corey Davis). The Patriots clearly have big plans for the ex-Eagles and Raiders wideout, even though he has been inconsistent. Jones would certainly help Cam Newton and/or Mac Jones, but he does not have a no-trade clause. He may well be sent elsewhere.
send him to the packers, we’ll take him
Without a QB seems like a pointless trade. Would need ARod committed before making that trade….
Come to Patriots! Third rounder and half of the contract.
It will take a 2nd and more, MAYBE.
I would expect they would have to give up at worse, a 2nd rounder and take on majority if not all of the contract. Otherwise, there isn’t enough for the Falcons to make this move and might as well reshuffle contracts.
Titans
Send Jordan Love.. that’ll keep him happy

Ikr
Just throwing whipping things out there without a thought process. Stirring the pot. I’m bored lol
I’m honestly not sure if any one of those teams would even consider that
I’d hope not lol
Hahahaha! I’ll give it to you, you’re creative.
Gotta give it to you bud, that was entertaining.
This is the beauty of trade rumors. Fans should come on here and put out their ideas for a trade, good or bad. It’s part of the fun in my opinion. That said, definitely creative and in a fantasy land… but fun nonetheless
Can’t trade draft picks more than two years out. All they could offer in draft picks are in 2022 or 2023.
Hopefully he goes to the Patriots. Love to see him catch the deep 3 yard ball of Cam Newton.
Cam can get it up to 3 yards now? The arm strength is returning.
Patriot chatter makes little sense. Pats SB chances are null. Julio needs realistic chance to win. I’m amazed at the clueless direction of talk towards NE.
As a Falcons fan, I’d say give us a 2nd rounder, take on 80% or more of his salary and sprinkle in a 2-3 land round picks over the next couple years. The more picks, the more money we hold on too..
Rams will trade their next 1st round pick (in 2024) for Julio
