Julio Jones was just traded to the Tennessee Titans which shakes things up, but who are the next three NFL wide receivers who could be moved?

Ahead of the 2020 season, the NFL saw two big-name wide receivers switch teams as DeAndre Hopkins was traded from the Houston Texans to the Arizona Cardinals — where he helped open up their offense. The same happened for the Buffalo Bills, who added Stefon Diggs in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.

Now in 2021, there was yet another big move made as Julio Jones was traded from the Atlanta Falcons to the Tennessee Titans. His addition gives them an insane duo of Jones and A.J. Brown — which is in addition to already having Derrick Henry at running back.

While there might not be any moves this offseason, there will surely be more wideouts changing teams soon. Here, we look at the next three superstar wide receivers who could be used as trade pieces.

3. Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns

Odell Beckham Jr. was already part of a blockbuster trade as the Cleveland Browns picked him up in the 2019 offseason in exchange for a first-round pick. So far, the move has not panned out for the Browns as Beckham has been good but not elite.

He had 1,035 yards and four touchdowns in 2019 and was off to a slow start in 2020 with 319 yards in six games before tearing his ACL on the first drive of their Week 7 contest. OBJ is now fighting his way back and will be part of the plans in 2021 but with Cleveland needing to extend several young players soon — including quarterback Baker Mayfield and running back Nick Chubb — they could stand to free up some cap space.

Beckham is still an elite athlete and as long as he shows that he’s back to 100 percent health this season, there would be plenty of teams willing to make an offer in 2022.
