Twitter reacts to Bucs signing WR Julio Jones
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are adding yet another big name to their already star-studded offense, signing seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones to a one-year deal, per multiple reports.
After the news broke, it didn’t take long for Bucs fans on Twitter to voice their strong reactions to the move.
While some fans were thrilled to add a superstar who dominated the Bucs during his decade with the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, others are skeptical that Jones will live up to the hype due to his age and injury history:
Similar to the AB signing two years ago. Low risk, high reward and probably a 99.9999 percent chance that Jones doesn’t take off his shirt and pads during a game to quit on his team.

Wait… WHAT!?!

Of course 🙄, didn't we learn from you Sherman last year. Dude has silly string for hammies.

Julio, given his current state and the current state of the Bucs WR room, doesn’t/shouldn’t make the 53 man roster.

If he’s healthy (big IF), he gives us a big matchup problem with Godwin/Gage & Evans on the field.

Excited. Regardless of what others thought, we needed depth in the receiving game. That was magnified especially when Gronk retired. #GoBucs

Issues at WR (injuries and whatever the hell happened to AB) prevented this team from going to the SB last year.
Can never have too many weapons.

I’m hoping it works out but the guys body is falling apart, he’s surely going to have a reduced role you can’t depend on him playing full games. This will be the ultimate test for the TB12 method

Not expecting big numbers, but he should be a reliable target

I'm not entirely thrilled. He's aging out a bit, isn't he? He's been dinged up the last couple seasons as well, right?

Can he use Godwin’s hamstrings while he recovers his ACL?

It’s a crowded WR room, plenty of riches but who will suffer?

as an insurance policy I love it

I might cry.

Can’t complain 😉

I believe he will greatly contribute to this team.

The Buc Killer has joined up with us it’s incredible story !!!

Worth the risk for a 1 year deal.

Great signing. Best WR corps in the league

Can't stop smiling!
Even if he just gives us 9 or 10 games and around 50% of the snaps he'll be a huge factor on and off the field and makes us better then any other option on the FA market.
Our 4 WR sets are a f…king cheatcode 😍— Tobias Starke (@tst1860) July 26, 2022
Run the tank dry, I like it!!!
