He recorded six straight seasons with at least 1300 receiving yards from 2015 to 2019 with the Falcons. His last season in Atlanta saw him register only 771 receiving yards in 10 games, his fewest since the 2013 campaign, where he played only five games.Jones was traded to the Tennessee Titans in the 2021 offseason and had a terrible time with the team. He caught 31 passes for 434 receiving yards in 10 games and was a major disappointment. The team released Jones in March and the wide receiver has since been looking to join a Super Bowl contender.Teaming up with Brady could not only revive Jones' career and but also present him with the best chance of hoisting the Lombardi trophy.
