I blame TO for this

quote:

#Falcons WR Julio Jones does not plan to report to camp and he is comfortable sitting out the entire time, sources said. He is still seeking a contract adjustment, while the team made clear to him they did not plan to give him one. He appears resolute in his mindset.

I'm glad we have multiple threads not on the ATL board about this.

Omg. You had to read two thread titles on the MSB?

The horror.

They need to hold their ground and not change his contract. At some point, a line must be drawn in the sand

He could be out anywhere from 28 days to just 3 weeks from what I've heard.

Needs to look at Vincent Jackson. Long holdouts never seem to work out for the players.

He's been "training" with Terrell Owens all offseason and seems to have suddenly developed an attitude and distanced himself. Jones just got a new contract 3 seasons ago. Hate that he's acting like this, the city of Atlanta has supported him since day 1. Oh well, enjoy those $40,000 a day fines Julio.

so he has 3 years left on the 6 year deal he signed, and he wants to negotiate now? I get it for the fact that his remaining salary isn't guaranteed anymore, but you're the idiot that signed a 6 year deal.

Do they have to pay him if he doesn't show up?

Maybe he’ll at least get some reps in down by the schoolyard.

Really looking forward to the upcoming coverage of Jones doing sit-ups in his driveway.

This is why I’m passionate about college football, and for the most part the NFL is just background noise while I’m doing something else.

Yeh he can do as he pleases, but its a bad look for him


However, out of good faith it seems the falcons may want to tweak the contract as julio is the 9th highest paid WR now in salary per year
