Jeff Schultz, the Falcons beat writer for The Athletic, reported that Atlanta “would like to” trade Julio Jones and proceeded to name a handful of teams that would make sense for a trade. The Chargers were among those teams due to factors such as fit on the team, the franchise being close to “getting over the hump”, and available cap space.
For several weeks it has been known the Falcons will explore a trade with Julio Jones.
