The Tennessee Titans made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason on Sunday, swinging a trade with the Atlanta Falcons to acquire perennial Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones. One of the most prolific pass catchers of his era, Jones was brought aboard to help the Titans get over the hump after five straight winning seasons but only a 3-3 postseason record.
The trade might shift the power balance in the AFC in Tennessee’s favor, but it does not change all too much from the New England Patriots’ perspective — at least as far as players they will or will not face are concerned.
