The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are backing up once once more with a big name! According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the 2020 Super Bowl champion signed Julio Jones. The 33-year-old wide receiver, who was looking for a club following his release from the Tennessee Titans, has signed a one-year contract.
In Tampa, the seven-time Pro Bowler not only meets star quarterback Tom Brady, but also a well-stocked wide-receiving corps, with names like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage, Jones’ former teammate at the Atlanta Falcons , includes.
Jones was drafted sixth overall by the Atlanta Falcons in 2011, where he spent the next ten seasons. In 2016 he even made it into the Super Bowl with Atlanta, but lost there to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
In 2021, the star-wide receiver went to another team for the first time, but he never really got going with the Tennessee Titans. Due to injuries, he only played 11 games (including the playoffs), in which he had 37 catches, 496 receiving yards and one touchdown.
