Falcons’ Julio Jones says he won’t hold out for new deal

Julio Jones is not stressing his contract position this summer.
Last offseason, the Atlanta Falcons receiver sat out before getting his contract adjusted. Jones told TMZ he doesn’t plan a similar boycott since he trusts owner Arthur Blank’s promise to find a new deal done.

“Mr. Blank gave us his sentence,” Jones stated. “That is golden. … [Blank’s] note is that it’s likely to get done. … There’s no stress on my end. I am not thinking about it.
“[Blank] makes it easy for me to venture out and just work every day and not have one of those situations where there’s a holdout or anything like this.”
The Falcons brass has insisted a few times this offseason they intend to give Jones a fresh contract. Blank said he plans to make Julio a Falcon”for life.”
Jones has two years left on his contract worth $9.6 million and $11.426 million, respectively. Currently sitting 12th among recipients in average salary per year, expect the Falcons to boost Jones’ salary substantially with a new thing.
Between the proprietor’s guarantees and Jones’ confidence, the expectation is a fresh bargain materializes in the coming weeks, so the Falcons could fly through training camp and into the regular season with no inevitable, patriotic question .
