Julio Jones continues to be one of the hottest topics of the NFL offseason as trade rumors surround the All-Pro wide receiver.

On Saturday, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler shared what Jones is looking for in a potential trade.

“If traded, Julio Jones wants to go to a contender, as most big-name players want, but one other thing I’ve heard intrigues: A big-armed QB that can deliver the deep ball. Jones wants to outrun DBs and get underneath the ball,” Fowler tweeted.

Michael Holley of NBC Sports Boston reported last month that he had been told Jones wants to play with Cam Newton in New England. Newton, though, has a history of shoulder injuries and even Patriots coach Bill Belichick is reportedly concerned with the 32-year-old’s arm strength.

We’ll see if Jones gets his wish to play for a QB with a strong arm on a championship-contending team.
