Longtime Atlanta Falcons beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution discusses what the addition of Julio Jones will mean for the Titans. 

In the latest episode of Talkin' Titans beat writer Ben Arthur and sports columnist Gentry Estes discuss what the lack of momentum for a Jones' deal means, and what it may tell us about the Titans' involvement in the process. 

It appears likely that the Atlanta Falcons will trade Julio Jones.

Should the Tennessee Titans pursue him?

The Jones' trade speculation, which has been simmering publicly for weeks, hit a high gear Tuesday when Jones spoke to FS1's "Undisputed." The seven-time Pro Bowl receiver was reached via phone by show co-host and NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe.

Sharpe, who put Jones on speaker phone live on air, asked the NFL star if he wants to stay in Atlanta and he replied, "I'm out of there man." Jones later said he wants to go somewhere where he could win. 

The Titans are a playoff contender, and have a big need at wide receiver (Check, check). Numerous Titans players are on board with the idea of Jones in Nashville. Many fans , too. 

But is Jones worth the cost?
