After Corey Davis parlayed a career year into a big free-agent contract with the New York Jets, Titans general manager Jon Robinson found himself in the market for a receiver to line up alongside up-and-coming superstar A.J. Brown. Coincidentally, the Atlanta Falcons found themselves in serious salary-cap trouble, with not even enough space to sign their draft picks. And they had one hefty contract to unload. Fortunately for Robinson, he could do a little cap magic and have the space to take on the big deal, so he went for it, sending a second-round pick to the Falcons. Especially fortunate was the fact that the man whose signature is on the bottom of that contract happens to be one of the greatest pass-catchers in football history. And not for nothing, he happened to be Brown’s hero. Julio Jones, welcome to Nashville. Jones, whose high school nickname was “Waffle House” because he’s always open, suddenly gives the already-potent Titans offense another jolt. Not only do opposing teams have to decide if they’ll sell out to stop superhuman Derrick Henry from running all over and through them and risk leaving Brown open for a laser-perfect pass from Ryan Tannehill, now they have to decide if they double-team Brown or the surefire Hall of Famer lined up on the other side of the formation.
