Declaring his intention to move on from the franchise during a segment of Undisputed, the wideout said he’s looking to go to a side that’s all about winning.
And perhaps that side could be the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have quietly been becoming a powerhouse over the offseason signing players like AJ Green and JJ Watt.

Julio Jones would make Cardinals unstoppable
Appearing on the Rich Eisen Show, Irvin was asked about his thoughts regarding a possible Julio Jones trade to the Cardinals. And the Hall of Famer emphasized just how crazy it would be to have Green, Hopkins, and Jones on the same side.
“That would be unlawful. And you know what’s crazy about it and why I say it’s unlawful? Because they’re all big guys with different skill sets,” said Irvin.

“Oh my God, we shouldn’t even be having this conversation. It’s like treason to have that conversation. It’s treason against the NFL having all those guys on the same team,” he added.
Facing the likes of Hopkins, Green, and Jones would surely be a nightmare for any opposition. But if the Cardinals actually manage to pull it off, they’ll easily be catapulted to Super Bowl favorites overnight.
