Training camp getting closer by the day, and it’s been radio silence on the Julio Jones contract saga. Depending on your point of view, that’s either great news or lousy news.
There’s still ample time for the Falcons to get a deal done with Jones before the training camp horn sounds, and it’s possible that deal is already hammered out behind the scenes. Part of me wonders if it’s time we all strap in for the inevitable moment when the Jet doesn’t land on time.
There’s a real possibility right now that Jones is going to hold out at the first of training camp in order to put the pressure on the organization to get a deal done, and it might be the last bit of hardball Jones and his team need to play to extend the contract.
