Report: Falcons not giving Julio Jones a pay bump, but hope he reports to training camp regardless

We have spent the offseason wondering how the Atlanta Falcons will make Julio Jones happy. He’s arguably the league’s best wide receiver, and unquestionably in the top two in the NFL. The Falcons can’t pretend he’s just a “good” player and plan without him, but they’re now in a position where they me heading into training camp with #11 as a no-show.

The same assumption, it seemed, was the Falcons would hit Jones with some more money this season, spread out the cap hit, and give him a new deal next year.
