Now that the wait-and-see drama between the Atlanta Falcons and Julio Jones is over, they need to make sure they give Calvin Ridley an extension sooner than later.

The Atlanta Falcons are now without one of the franchise legends and what was their strongest positional group on the team will become weaker without the future Hall of Fame receiver, which gives general manager Terry Fontenot all more reason to lock up Calvin Ridley long-term.
