Falcons sign Jones to record 3-year extension

The Atlanta Falcons and Julio Jones have agreed to a landmark three-year extension that ties the star wide receiver with the team through 2023, the team announced Saturday.

The $66 million extension includes $66 million in guaranteed money, with $64 million due at signing, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

Jones had two years and almost $21 million remaining on his contract.

The deal makes Jones the NFL's highest-paid wide receiver in terms of guaranteed money. Jones will collect 97% of the contract at signing, surpassing the previous record for a non-quarterback (Trey Flowers, 74%).
