Julio Jones announces he wants out of Atlanta
It's really looking like we've seen the last of Julio Jones with the Atlanta Falcons. With trade rumors swirling, Jones went ahead and sent things into overdrive on Monday morning. Seemingly without knowing, Jones announced that he wants out of Atlanta.
This came on FS1's 'Undisputed' when Shannon Sharpe decided to call Jones live on TV. It feels like Jones had no idea he was live, but it was still announced that he doesn't plan on suiting up for the Falcons come the 2021 campaign.
This is huge: Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones live on @undisputed: Julio said he's "out of there" when asked if he wants to stay in Atlanta. He also said he doesn't want to go to the Cowboys. "I want to win."

Holy cow. I don't think he knew he was live. pic.twitter.com/5D8cXjclQt
Not only did Jones basically confirm that he's asked to be traded, but he also called out the Cowboys in the clip above. Yikes. While we don't know where Jones will be playing next season, don't be surprised if he ends up suiting up in a different city this fall.
