Over the weekend, Falcons owner Arthur Blank said that he wanted wide receiver Julio Jones to spend his entire career with the Falcons and that he had every reason to “be positive and be enthusiastic” about agreeing to a contract that helps Jones reach that goal.
One of those reasons is that Jones says he wants the same things as the guy signing his checks. Jones plans to let agent Jimmy Sexton continue to handle the specifics of the contract talks while he takes care of things on the field, but he left no doubt about where he wants things to wind up.
