Trade for Julio?

What could possibly go wrong with that?

When was the last time anyone here heard of a 31 year old elite WR not being able to return 100% from injuries?

Not particularly similar cases... 

Prior to missing 7 games in 2020, Jones had missed 1 game over the previous 3 years. 
Prior to missing 16 games in 2019, Green had missed 13 games over the previous 3 years.


Julio Jones was active for Week 13 vs the Saints and went 6/94/0, but once they lost that game, they lost their chance at a winning season. That's when he shut it down for the final 4 games.

Julio Jones at age 30 had enough yardage to be AJ Green's second highest total of his career if he had it. This after leading the league in yards the year before. I am not saying I would make the trade if I were the Bengals, but that's just because they're not that close to being good. If I were a borderline wildcard team or better, I would most certainly trade for him to push my team forward.

Thankfully I think he resists a trade to Baltimore because they don't throw it there and I doubt he wants to cap his HoF career in a ultra low frequency passing game. 

Certainly don't want him in the division if he's not on the Bengals.
