As much fun as it would be to see the Indianapolis Colts acquire Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones in a trade, there are several reasons a deal like this won’t come to fruition.

The Colts are a young team but one that is entering a potential window to win now depending on the progress of new quarterback Carson Wentz. Jones’ talent would help indubitably if he’s healthy. This will lead to many media outlets listing the Colts as suitors for the freakish wide receiver.

Even with that, the acquisition would be impractical and potentially even impossible for a few reasons.

Here’s why the Colts are not trade suitors for the legendary wide receiver:
