Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick said this about Julio Jones' holdout

For eight years, Michael Vick was the top player in the Atlanta Falcons’ fold. Now, the four-time Pro Bowler thinks his former team’s latest playmaker deserves a raise.

Vick spoke to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s D. Orlando Ledbetter this week and discussed the status of Falcons receiver Julio Jones. Vick showed his support for Jones, who is fresh off a 1,444-yard season for Atlanta.

“To my knowledge, Julio is holding out for a bigger contract, and Julio deserves it,” Vick told Ledbetter. “Julio and Matt [Ryan] are the ultimate combination. They just paid Matt, and I think Julio should get everything that he deserves, too.
