Another fan wrote: "Imagine Julio and Matt [Ryan] together in a colts uniform is more like it. And I'd probably root for them to win it all."
prevnextReason for the Move
By releasing Julio Jones with a post-June 1 designation, the #Titans save $9.513 million in 2022 cash and salary cap space. He still collects $2 million that's fully guaranteed with no offsets.

Tom Pelissero then added, "They'll carry an $8.4 million dead cap hit in 2023." This move was more about the money than about production.
prevnextGood Trade for Falcons
The #Titans traded a 2022 2nd-round pick and a 2023 4th-round pick to the #Falcons for Julio Jones.
He ended up playing in 10 regular season games, recording 31 receptions, 434 yards and 1 TD.
Atlanta got an extra 2nd-round pick to offer in a potential Deshaun Watson trade....
