The Julio Jones contract saga looks like it’s about to finally come to an end. A report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero suggests that the Falcons and Jones are finalizing a multi-year extension that will make No. 11 the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. The report was confirmed by Ian Rapoport.
