The New England Patriots have been busy this offseason. After a disappointing outing last year, Bill Belichick is thirsting for vindication. The Patriots missed the Playoffs last year for the first time in 12 years, and for a coach of Belichick’s quality, that is unacceptable. Their first season without Tom Brady was difficult, but Belichick seems hell-bent on ensuring that their second season pans out far better. And that could mean making Julio Jones a Patriot. Former NFL executive Mike Tannenbaum spoke [https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2021/05/14/julio-jones-trade-patriots-mike-tannenbaum] recently about the possibility of the New England Patriots [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/new-england-patriots/] trading for Julio Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/julio-jones/]. Jones is currently with the Atlanta Falcons, who have rebuffed trade offers for him. However, they have major issues with regard to the salary cap at the moment. And they do need to offload players. Given the size of Jones’ contract, moving him out from Atlanta would be good for the Falcons. And the Patriots could also benefit from this deal.

This could possibly put them over the top in winning the division. They could use a frontline No. 1 receiver.” COULD JULIO JONES IMPROVE THE PATRIOTS? Tannebaum added that Cam Newton needs more weapons if he wants to take this team to the Playoffs, and Jones could be that weapon. He also pointed out that Bil Belichick is close friends with Jones’ former college coach Nick Saban. And Saban has spoken at great length about how much he loves Julio Jones. So given the similar profile of the two coaches, it could be a perfect fit for both Jones and the Patriots. “If Cam Newton’s going to have any chance of taking this team to the playoffs, Julio Jones would certainly help them get there. Nick Saban and Belichick, obviously very close. “This is one of Nick Saban’s all-time favorite players. I think it makes a ton of sense, and it (would) really put a ribbon on a very aggressive offseason for the Patriots.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1272278153.jpg] READ MORE: Ian Rapoport Explains Why the Falcons May Be Forced to Trade Julio Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-news-ian-rapoport-explains-why-the-atlanta-falcons-may-be-forced-to-trade-julio-jones/] Should the New England Patriots try to trade for Julio Jones? It could be a move that benefits both teams in the long run. The Patriots have made some great additions on the offensive end, and Jones could put them in contention for a playoff spot. 

Former NFL executive Mike Tannenbaum spoke recently about why Julio Jones could
be a great pick-up for the New England Patriots next season.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Atlanta Falcons 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Atlanta Falcons are a member of the NFC South Division and play alongside the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through their existence, the Falcons have struggled to maintain a winning season in the regular season and the Playoffs. Their metrics come in at 365-461 in the regular season and a 10-14 run in the Playoffs.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-539660 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210204190004/joke.png" alt="" width="905" height="853" />
<p style="text-align: center">Additionally, they’ve failed to capitalize on 2 Super Bowl appearances the first of which came back in the 1998 season in a loss to the Broncos. 18 years later they failed to clinch a ring against the New England Patriots in a 34-28 overtime loss at Super Bowl LI.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The club had a rather dismal campaign in 2020, which was their 55<sup>th</sup> season in the NFL. The Falcons clocked in with a 4-12 overall record and placed last in the NFC South.</p>


[caption id="attachment_486600" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-486600 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020-12-20T184349Z_1802299409_MT1USATODAY15339773_RTRMADP_3_NFL-TAMPA-BAY-BUCCANEERS-AT-ATLANTA-FALCONS.jpg" alt="tampa bay buccaneers running back leonard fournette runs with the ball against atlanta falcons" width="1920" height="1305" /> Dec 20, 2020; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (28) runs the ball against Atlanta Falcons defensive end Steven Means (55) in the first half of a NFL game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">The club’s woes were bolstered by the sacking of Head Coach Dan Quinn in the middle of the season. Quinn was fired in October when the Atlanta Falcons had a 0-5 record and was swiftly replaced by Raheem Morris, who rounded out with a 4-7 finish.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The initial logo for the team was a black falcon with a red outline, and the falcon’s head and talon protruded from its body to form the capital letter ‘F’. This logo was kept for over 23 years but in 1990 the franchise red outline was changed to black. This logo lasted until 2003, when the logo was changed to its current state.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-539653 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210204185655/perchance.jpeg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<p style="text-align: center">The change was a modern spin because the Falcon got a sleeker redesign to give it an appearance of flight. Furthermore, there were silver and red accents to make it look more aggressive while still resembling a capital letter ‘F’.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Arthur M. Blank is a businessman and co-founder of The Home Depot. He’s the owner of two teams in Atlanta, Georgia- the Atlanta Falcons and MLS’s Atlanta United. Furthermore, Atlanta United won the 2018 MLS championship and shares the Mercedes-Benz Stadium with the Falcons.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-539648 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210204185317/blank.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />
<p style="text-align: center">Blank also expressed serious interest in purchasing other franchises. In 2006, he temporarily withdrew from contention as a potential buyer of the Atlanta Braves of the MLB. However, the Braves completed the sale of the team to Liberty Media.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Atlanta Falcons 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Delta Airlines announced that it will return as a sponsor of the Atlanta Falcons, 8 years after dropping a past sponsorship. The tie-up began in 2017 and will play out right through the 2021 season, making the Atlanta-based airline the official carrier of the Falcons. Moreover, a major part of the deal is a Sky360 Club at the football stadium, a 25,000-square-foot club on the field level, and advertising at the stadium.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">What’s more, AMB Sports and Entertainment (AMBSE) and Gallagher announced a multi-year partnership, making them the official insurance brokerage and risk management company of the Atlanta Falcons. Not to mention, the Suite Level at Mercedes-Benz Stadium has been renamed the Gallagher Suite Level.</p>
