Following on a previous item. ... The Falcons have traded star wideout Julio Jones to the Titans.

The Falcons will get a second-round pick next year and a 2023 fourth-round pick for Jones and a sixth-round pick in 2023.

As a result, after several weeks of speculation, Jones, who recently requested a trade, is getting his wish.

And so is A.J. Brown. Tennessee's young wide receiver has been recruiting his "idol" for weeks, privately and through social media, going so far as to offer Jones his No. 11. Brown soon recanted after being told he couldn't have No. 1, which has been retired for Hall of Famer Warren Moon.

As NFL.com's Adam Maya notes, the Titans now add another a future Hall of Famer in Jones. The seven-time Pro Bowler has been the league's most prolific receiver over the past 10 seasons -- and almost any 10 seasons. His recent play doesn't suggest he's in decline, either. He'd made five consecutive All-Pro teams prior to laboring through a 2020 campaign on a strained hamstring. Despite appearing in just nine games, Jones still collected 51 catches for 771 yards, his 15.1 yards per catch right in line with his career average (15.2).

He leaves Atlanta with an array of franchise and NFL records on his resume, including receiving yards per game (95.5).

He'll arrive in Tennessee as a fascinating piece in what could be a championship puzzle. The Titans are defending AFC South champs and just one year removed from a conference title game appearance. But their early exit in last year's playoffs combined with key defections -- Arthur Smith shedding his offensive coordinator duties to become the Falcons' coach is tops among them -- altered outside expectations for Tennessee.

According to Maya, adding Jones, as Atlanta can attest when it selected him in the first round of the 2011 draft, immediately changes the narrative. The 32-year-old would appear to be an ideal fit alongside Ryan Tannehill, who was again one of the league's most efficient downfield passers last year.

That figures to be a more prominent tactic for the Titans moving forward given the 1-2 punch with Brown and the workload Derrick Henry has had to carry the past two years.
