Camp Nowhere: Julio Jones’ holdout will continue into training camp

The Offseason Odyssey of Quintorris Lopez Jones has entered another chapter as the Falcons’ superstar wide receiver will reportedly not be present at the start of training camp. The Atlanta fan base has been starkly divided about the siren song of Terrell Owens and Julio’s desire for a new contract, but the prevailing belief was that he would show up to camp regardless of the status of his negotiations with Atlanta’s top brass.

Well, that’s not to be — because Julio Jones will not report to training camp. Per ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, the team is aware that Julio will not be in attendance:

Julio Jones does not plan to report to Falcons on schedule Thursday without an adjustment to his contract, which has three years remaining, per league sources.
