Falcons WR Julio Jones could have an extension done by July 31

According to ESPN's Vaughn McClure now that Dez Bryant and Demaryius Thomas have their long-term deals done, "There is a general sense around the team that a deal could get done by the start of training camp (July 31) despite the lack of progress at this point." Jones has already said there is no chance he holds out and has not made any kind of threats for leverage. The Falcons may still reward him for his outstanding play on the field. In 15 games last season, Jones caught 104 passes for 1,593 yards and six touchdowns.

Fantasy Analysis:

It would be good to see Jones rewarded for doing the best thing for the team and not threatening a holdout or pouting, nevertheless, with or without a contract extension this should have no impact on his fantasy value.
