Report: Julio Jones signs one-year deal with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

All-Pro NFL wide receiver Julio Jones has agreed to a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The terms of the contract have not yet been released, although the report added that his arrival came after interest from the Green Bay Packers as well in free agency.

According to the report, the Buccaneers were, “The most aggressive in giving its QB a new offensive weapon.” Schefter also says he, “Wants to try to win a Super Bowl with the man who prevented him from winning one.”

Julio Jones joined quarterback Tom Brady, along with fellow wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to reassert the Buccaneers as an NFC powerhouse once more.

Over his career, Jones has caught 879 passes for 13,330 yards and 61 touchdowns. After spending the first 10 years of his career with the Atlanta Falcons, he made a move to the Tennessee Titans last year but battled through injuries after playing just 10 games.
