Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you noticed the incredibly over-covered story of Falcons’ star WR Julio Jones initiating a social media purge where he removed all references to the Falcons. Falcons’ sideline reporter and 92.9 The Game radio host John Michaels put the minds of panicking Atlanta fans at ease with this tweet:
Sources tell me it’s just a fresh start on social media for Julio Jones...nothing more! #RiseUp

While we thought that was the end of that non-story, some recent educated guessery has surfaced from Atlanta Falcons’ ESPN reporter Vaughn McClure that Jones may be angling for a new contract which gives him a raise, after WRs who aren’t as established have signed for more money in the past couple of offseasons.
