Well I'm not excited at all since the falcons ARE NOT giving him an extension, lol, I'd be excited if they were b/c it'd be stupid move.

B.T. (Before Tepper), all you had to do to get your raise and extension from the Panthers organization was be fambly and pout.

Remember that time the Falcons had the Super Bowl wrapped up 28-3?

Nope.  Had ours already with Pep and Moose.

I agree 100%... It's ridiculous how they sign these contracts then want more. Every contract should have in it mandatory that if there's a holdout before contract is complete, they forfit money for the entire year. Non negotiable. So fuging sick of this poo every year now, you sign a fuging contract... Honor it. If you think you deserve more, ask for more at signing, not halfway through when you see other getting paid more then you.

Agree with your point.

I think the other side is that half way thru the contract the team can tell you the contract is no longer valid and can cut you.  The player knows that when he signed it but I believe there is a sense of urgency due to the length of a career and all. 

Just hoping Julio creates enough drama to keep me entertained thru the start of training camp.

I don't think Julio has more than 3 years left with all the injuries that nag him week to week, honestly.    I have a Megatron feeling about him.    Falcons may too.

How can he feed his kids on his current contract?  Milk shot up to $3.59 a gallon!

At the time he signed his 6 year deal he was the highest paid WR in the league. (according to NFL Network) Now 3 years after that deal he's not.  

I believe he is so naive about the whole situation.   If Atlanta would give him the 20+ million he is asking for than he just raised the bar for the whole field.  Soon someone as good or better is going to want more than that.  Next thing you know marginal players will be getting 10+ million.  Atlanta would have nearly 1/3 of their entire salary cap between two players. 

Jones is greedy and doesn't see the business side of things.

We don't need to hear the B.S. well I am only trying to take care of my family.   That is the worst comment any of the major sports player can say.   I would happily take the vet minimum for an annual salary.

Demand a trade JJ. Or sit out the rest of the season. Make them pay you for your worth.

Jones actually is a 1/3 of there offense though. Take him away and Ryan throws at least 20 picks a season.

He may be but he isn't worth 28 million per season.   No owner is going to double his salary.  He's greedy and that's it.  End of Story.
