Report: Julio Jones Not at Falcons Workouts, 'Not a Concern' amid Contract Talks

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones is not at the team's offseason training program Monday as the two sides continue negotiating a long-term contract.

ESPN's Vaughn McClure reported Jones' absence is "not a concern." The veteran did not attend voluntary sessions last offseason, either, and told McClure he plans to report when workouts become mandatory.

Jones, 30, has two years and $22 million remaining on the five-year, $71.3 million extension he signed in 2015. That number has taken Jones from one of the NFL's highest-paid players to one if its biggest bargains.
