The Atlanta Falcons recently made veteran quarterback Matt Ryan a wealthy man with a lucrative contract extension. Fellow Falcons star Julio Jones appears to be the next in line to secure his long-term future with the team with an extension forthcoming.
While Jones continues to negotiate his new deal with Atlanta, the superstar wideout has not been seen at OTAs, and that has some questioning whether that impacts the chemistry between quarterback and receiver. Ryan was recently about whether the two stars would be on the same page when the time comes, via Steve Hummer of The Atlanta Journal-Consitution.
“About being on the same page: We’ve played together for a long time and when he’s healthy and when he feels good, like he does right now, it’s very easy to get on the same page,” Ryan said of Jones. “He’s so talented. We’re fine. I think we’re in a good spot. We’ll get in some good work before the season starts, like we always do.”
Although Jones has yet to sign an extension with Atlanta, there's seems to be no concern from the team nor the player on whether a deal will get done. Jones has made it abundantly clear that he's going nowhere and plans to be with the Falcons for the rest of his career while the team's brass has expressed their intent to get it done as soon as they can.
In 2017, Jones played in all 16 games for the Falcons racking up 1,444 yards and three touchdowns on 88 receptions.
