Falcons, Julio Jones Closing In On Deal?
5 years agoThe Atlanta Falcons and their star wide receiver Julio Jones have been at a stalemate this offseason, but recent rumblings have suggested that a deal between the two parties could come to fruition soon. Jones's agent Jimmy Sexton is reportedly meeting with the Falcons' front office this week with the goal of locking down the deal. The Falcons' general manager Thomas Dimitroff has stated that the team is willing to make Jones the highest-paid player at his position, which certainly inspires confidence for a deal to happen. Jones should be one of the first receivers taken in all drafts as he's topped 1,400 receiving yards five straight years and should be primed to make it six this year.
