Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones reported to camp on Sunday without a new official deal in place, but some around the league think the two sides have an agreement in place.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk points out that the two sides can't officially agree to a deal until July 26th because that is when a reworked deal was agreed upon last year, and one year has to eclipse before a new deal can be signed.

Some of Florio's sources think that the reason Jones was willing to report is that a deal is already in place, and they are just waiting until July 26th so announce it.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank has made it clear that at some point, Jones will be getting his new deal and that has put Jones mind at ease.

“Mr. Blank gave us his word,” Jones said via NFL.com. “That's golden. … [Blank's] word is that it's going to get done. … There's no stress on my end. I'm not thinking about it.”

Jones currently has two years left on his current deal that is set to make him $9.6 million this season and $11.426 million next season.

Jones is 30 years old which is getting up there in age for a wide receiver, but he is still one of the best players in the league. Last season Jones hauled in 113 catches for 1,677 yards and eight touchdowns.

If it is the case that the two sides already have a deal done, it's only four days until the two sides can announce it.
