As we all sit with shaken anticipation to see if Julio Jones will report on time to Falcons training camp, part of me is beginning to wonder if Jones will be better off waiting around a bit to get this renegotiated deal.
If you’ve followed the long line of Cory Woodroof by-lines on the subject, you know where I stand on this: I’m fully in the “Julio deserves to get paid; the team needs to make sure to do right by him” camp. Jones was justified to hold out this summer as his guaranteed money was closing out, just as any player is in any contract situation ever.
