The Atlanta Falcons could fine wide receiver Julio Jones $84,435 after he failed to attend the NFL team's three-day mandatory minicamp this week. But it doesn't appear that will happen.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn sounded understanding when asked about Jones' absence from Atlanta's entire offseason program, saying: "Sometimes football and business intersect."
A five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro first-teamer, Jones signed a five-year, $71,256,045 contract extension with the Falcons before the 2015 season. He's under contract for the next three years, but reports during the offseason indicated the former Alabama standout wants a "correction or update" for his contract.
