Report: Julio Jones won’t report to training camp without new contract

Julio Jones

Julio Jones is seeking a new contract from the Atlanta Falcons, and the star wide receiver reportedly does not plan to report to training camp unless he gets one.

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, Jones will not be at training camp on Thursday without a raise.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network adds that Jones is comfortable sitting out all of training camp if need be. Since the Falcons have made it clear he will not be getting a new contract, that may end up happening.

Jones signed a six-year, $81.4 million contract before the 2015 season and is under contract through 2020. He is set to earn $10.5 million this season. He already skipped mandatory minicamp.

Jones is among the top wide receivers and playmakers in the NFL (here’s our rankings), but his $10.5 million salary for 2018 places him well below the top-paid players at the position.
