Clearly, the Falcons are exploring a trade involving wide receiver Julio Jones and the Patriots are a team to keep an eye on.
They are one of the few teams who could make Jones' salary work and they obviously could use a No. 1 wide receiver.
So, what could a potential trade look like?
Patriots get: Julio Jones
Falcons get: 2022 second-round pick, wide receiver N'Keal Harry
Atlanta reportedly is looking for at least a second-round pick in return for the 32-year-old and then adding a wide receiver to fill Jones' spot on the roster would make some sense too. The biggest thing for Atlanta with trading Jones is freeing up cap space, so it isn't totally concerned with the return.
For New England, a second-round pick isn't all that big of a deal and then including Harry in the deal softens the blow of trading away a first-round pick since a big-name receiver is coming in return. It also makes sense for the Patriots to trade away a wide out if they are getting Jones since there won't be tons of playing time available for Patriots wide receivers with two tight ends on the field for the majority of their offensive plays.
Keep in mind a potential trade for Jones would need to occur after June 1, as that is when salary cap benefits kick in for Atlanta.
