Russini mentioned Titans players recruiting Jones on social media, and confirmed the Falcons have spoken with them. They’re still in the mix but Russini says as of now they’re a “long shot” to land Jones:

As we watch Titans players fiercely recruit Julio Jones on social media, I was told Atlanta has actually had discussions with Tennessee.
As of now, they are still talking but I was told this “is a long shot” for the Titans to land Jones.

According to Over The Cap, the Falcons would incur a dead money hit of $23.25 million for trading Jones before June 1, but only $7.75 million in dead money after that date as well as $15.3 million in cap savings.

The 32-year-old Jones made his future clear when he told Shannon Sharpe on Undisputed that he wanted out from the organization.

Last season, Jones played in nine games and caught 51 passes for 771 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
