Alabama Football: 3 NFL teams that should trade for Julio Jones

NFL teams that should trade for Alabama football’s Julio Jones

1. Baltimore Ravens

This fit makes so much sense for the Ravens. They have a solid defense with young studs and a quality front seven. Their running game is superb, and they only need minor upgrades on the offensive line. The only thing they need to seriously address is wide receiver. They need a big target who can catch footballs in the middle of the field, and that’s exactly what Julio Jones can do.

Lamar Jackson is about to be up for a new contract. In order to feel comfortable about giving him a monster deal, they need to see what he can do with quality receivers. Jones immediately adds credibility to the passing game, and it would open up a facet of Baltimore’s game that we have barely seen.

Baltimore has success with Alabama football players. Marlon Humphrey has been one of the best young corners in the NFL, and they thrived with Mark Ingram at running back.

The Ravens might not be willing to give up a lot to add Julio’s contract, but they at least need to have a conversation. The Ravens have a real shot to compete for a Super Bowl for the next few years. In order to seize that opportunity, they have to add receivers. They might prefer to sign one in free agency, but this is a quality option if the price is right.

Many Alabama football fans root for Jones on the Falcons, but they might be rooting for him on one of these teams soon.
