The Atlanta Falcons reportedly might trade Julio Jones this offseason to clear cap space. While the New England Patriots have been heavily linked to the star wide receiver, another AFC club might be interested.
Jones and Titans All-Pro running back Derrick Henry were caught on video working out together in Dallas on Saturday, sparking rumors that the wideout might be interested in going to Tennessee.

The video comes after Henry voiced support for the Titans to trade for Jones in a Tweet earlier this week.

A trade for Jones would make sense for the Titans following the departure of Corey Davis in free agency. However, the seven-time Pro Bowler has a high price tag. He's due $15.3 million from any team that takes him on in 2021 and is owed $11.5 million in both 2022 and 2023.
It should also be noted that Henry recently signed a new four-year, $50 million deal with the Titans, and their best wide receiver, A.J. Brown, enters a contract year in 2022.
Fitting Jones under the cap could be difficult, but nothing is impossible.
