Julio Jones is headed to the Titans, and could help shift the balance of power in the AFC.

Winners and losers from Julio Jones trade to the Titans

Julio Jones has been added to a Titans offense that already features Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown. Here's the fallout from the trade with Atlanta.

The Tennessee Titans offense suddenly looks much more potent after the blockbuster trade that went down Sunday.

Seven-time Pro Bowler - and likely Hall of Famer - Julio Jones was dealt by the Atlanta Falcons to the Titans, who add the receiver to an offense that already features powerhouse running back Derrick Henry and 2020 Pro Bowler A.J. Brown.

In exchange for Jones (and a 2023 sixth-round draft pick), the Titans sent a 2022 second-rounder and a 2023 fourth-rounder to the Falcons.

The bold move could put Tennessee to the front of the line in the AFC among the challengers to the Kansas City Chiefs, who've won the conference championship game the previous two seasons.
