Falcons, Julio Jones Close To Deal
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank said that the team is "very, very close" to a deal with wide receiver Julio Jones. "I’d be surprised and disappointed if we didn’t get it done this week. ... I think it’s very reasonable to assume it will get done this week," Blank said. The 30-year-old wideout has five straight seasons of 1,000-plus yards receiving and has reached that mark in six of his eight NFL seasons overall. Despite nagging lower-body injuries in recent seasons, Jones has played full campaigns in three of the last four seasons and remains an elite WR1 for fantasy owners.
