Atlanta announced on Wednesday evening that Jones will be present when the team’s training camp opens on Thursday.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says the two sides agreed on a revised contract to adjust his salary for the season.
The #Falcons and WR Julio Jones have agreed on a revised contract that adjusts his 2018 salary. He’s showing up, as the team announced. This is a move that’s cap neutral, so it won’t affect other deals getting done.

Jones was set to make $10.5 million for the upcoming season and wanted to be paid more. Both sides worked in good faith to ensure Jones would be in camp on time and not provide a distraction for the season.
