Chronological Timeline
Trade 1 of 2
Atlanta paid Cleveland five draft choices to move from No. 27 to No. 6 in 2011 and select Julio Jones. The price was enormous, but Jones became a franchise icon, seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro who helped Atlanta reach Super Bowl LI. Cleveland turned the package into several players and additional moves, but none approached Jones's impact. The Falcons' aggressive bet delivered a true superstar and ultimately wins the trade.
Trade 2 of 2
Atlanta sent Julio Jones and a 2023 sixth-round pick to Tennessee for a 2022 second and conditional 2023 fourth. Jones played only 10 regular-season games for the Titans, catching 31 passes for 434 yards and one touchdown before being released after one season. Atlanta used the second-rounder on Troy Andersen and later moved the fourth-round asset. Andersen's injuries limited his ceiling, but the Falcons still recovered far more durable value than Tennessee received.
