Las Vegas Raiders: Where would Julio Jones fit on the offense?
By Daniel Davis
The Las Vegas Raiders have revamped their roster this offseason, adding talent on both sides of the ball. If they traded for Julio Jones, where would he fit in?
Atlanta Falcons star wide receiver Julio Jones recently made it known he “just wants to win” when asked by former Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe whether he wants to trade or not. On the wrong side of 30, the all-star receiver has been one of the most consistent playmakers not only in this generation, but in the history of the National Football League, and could be a target for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Despite being a dominant presence on the field, the Falcons receiver hasn’t seen much success in the win category since the embarrassing Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots in that epic comeback.
Last season, the aging receiver was plagued with injuries, and played in only nine games, as he was limited, and clearly wasn’t the playmaker he normally can be. Despite all of this, should the Raiders take a risk on another veteran receiver nearing the end of his career?
