Claypool: I'd love to see Julio Jones join Steelers

Add Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Chase Claypool to the long list of NFL players who would like to see their team acquire Julio Jones.

"I would love him in Pittsburgh," Claypool told TMZ Sports.

The Steelers' wide receiver group already features the likes of Claypool, Diontae Johnson, and JuJu Smith-Schuster. But Claypool believes there's always room for a player of Jones' caliber.

"We're stacked," the 22-year-old said. "But you can never get too many superstars."

Jones reportedly asked the Atlanta Falcons for a trade earlier this offseason and seemingly confirmed his impending departure Monday on "Undisputed" by stating he's "outta there."

The longtime Falcons receiver is under contract for another three years and will be owed $38.3 million by any team that acquires him. Atlanta has reportedly been fielding offers for Jones - including a proposal involving a first-round pick - and could move him in the coming week.

Jones, 32, is due $15.3 million in base salary for 2021, according to Spotrac, making Pittsburgh an unlikely suitor for him. The Steelers currently have just $7.85 million in cap space.
