Julio Jones will report to training camp with the Atlanta Falcons Authentic Cordy Glenn Jersey , the team said late Wednesday after reaching an agreement to renegotiate the star receiver's contract next year.
General manager Thomas Dimitroff announced the compromise about 16 hours ahead of Thursday's 4 p.m. reporting deadline, removing a major distraction hanging over a team that is again expected to be one of the top contenders in the NFC.
"We have had continued dialogue all offseason with Julio and his representation," Dimitroff said. "We have come to an agreement with Julio, and we will readdress everything in 2019. I appreciate everyone's hard work and communication on this."
The Falcons had informed Jones several weeks ago that they wouldn't be able to renegotiate his current $71.5 million package, which still has three years remaining and included $47 million in guaranteed money.
Jones, who makes an average of $14.25 million a year, was unhappy with his deal after a flurry of new contracts during the offseason dropped Jones down the list of the NFL's highest-paid receivers.
Tampa Bay's Mike Evans , Cleveland's Jarvis Landry and Kansas City's Sammy Watkins are among those now making more per year than Jones, a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler who caught 88 passes for 1,444 yards last season.
Jones skipped offseason workouts at the team's training facility as well as a mandatory minicamp to demonstrate his unhappiness. His next option was to hold out during training camp, which could have led to fines of $40,000 per day.
Neither side wanted to go down a path that could've damaged what has otherwise been a good relationship. So, it looks as though Jones will get a new deal in 2019 鈥?not as soon as he would've liked, but a year earlier than the Falcons would normally agree to renegotiate a long-term contract.
Atlanta is eager to pair Jones with another former Alabama receiver, Calvin Ridley, who was this year's first-round pick. The team hopes that Ridley Authentic Ryan Switzer Jersey , as he develops, can help to lure coverages away from Jones, who is often blanketed by two or three defenders.
The Falcons said salary cap limitations prevented them from discussing a new deal with Jones in 2018 . The team already agreed to a five-year, $150 million extension with quarterback Matt Ryan, the most lucrative deal in NFL history, and is now focused on working out new contracts for defensive tackle Grady Jarrett, offensive guard Jake Matthews and safety Ricardo Allen.
"This adjustment does not impede us from working on other extensions with other key members of our football team," Dimitroff said. "We will continue to work on those contracts going forward."
Jones hasn't talked with the Atlanta media in months, keeping a low profile during the contract brouhaha. In one of his rare public appearances, he told TMZ that he has a good relationship with the franchise that pulled off a blockbuster trade with Cleveland to make him a first-round pick in 2011.
"I'm just working on getting myself better," he said. "There's no bad blood between me and the team or anything like that."
Jones hasn't been totally estranged from his teammates during the offseason. This month, he took part in Ryan's private passing camp in California along with about a dozen of his teammates.
All throughout the contract talks, Jones remained in the good graces of coach Dan Quinn.
"Sometimes football and business intersect," Quinn said after Jones skipped the three-day minicamp. "That's OK and that happens a lot."

鈥?Coach Bruce Arians once said he and quarterback Carson Palmer would ride away into the sunset together like a pair of old desert cowboys.Well, they have.Palmer announced his retirement after 15 NFL seasons on Tuesday in an open letter released by Cardinals, one day after Arians said he was leaving his long coaching career.“Over the years Customized Green Bay Packers Jerseys , I’ve had teammates who decided to hang it up and I would ask them how they knew when it was time to walk away,” the letter began. “The answer was almost always the same: You just know. For me, it is time now. Why? Quite simply, I just know.”Palmer, who turned 38 last week, made the announcement in an open letter released Tuesday by the Cardinals. Palmer missed the last nine games of what would be his final season with a broken left arm.He called his long professional career “the most incredible experience of my life.”Palmer and Arians were together the past five seasons, and they included some of the best days of the quarterback’s career.Standing 6-foot-5 with a remarkably strong arm, Palmer was a Heisman Trophy winner at USC and the No. 1-overall pick by Cincinnati in 2002. He threw for 46,247 yards, 12th-most in NFL history, in a career with the Bengals, Oakland and Arizona.“When I entered the league, I was a 23-year-old kid,” Palmer wrote. “I’m leaving a 38-year-old husband and father of four with memories and experiences that I will treasure for the rest of my life. And like most things in life, it feels like it all passed in a blink of an eye.”Acquired by the Cardinals for only a sixth-round pick and a swap of seventh-rounders, Palmer’s strong arm was a great fit for Arians’ “no risk it Authentic Cody Latimer Jersey , no biscuit” big-play passing game.Palmer twice came back from torn ACL injuries. The first occurred in his playoff debut for Cincinnati in 2005. He was hurt on his first pass, a 66-yard completion. The second came in the sixth game of the 2014 season.Palmer returned from that one to have probably the best year of his career. In 2015, he set single-season franchise records and career highs for yards passing (4,671) and touchdowns (35) while leading the Cardinals to a 13-3 record, second-best in the NFC. He won his only playoff game in four tries that season, in overtime over Green Bay.“My family and I are beyond grateful for everything the game has given us as well as the love and support we’ve felt from fans everywhere we’ve been,” he said. “That’s been especially true in Arizona, where we never expected to end up but wound up being such a special place for us.”Cardinals center A.Q. Shipley, through , congratulated Palmer on “one hell of a career.”“My favorite all-time teammate is walking away on his terms,” Shipley said. “Not many people have that opportunity. It’s been an honor and a privilege to block for you and be your teammate. Enjoy retirement brother!”Cardinals star running back David Johnson, also on , praised the leadership of Palmer and Arians.“They have taught me so much on/off the field,” Johnson wrote. “I seriously owe so much to Carson & BruceArians for how they have gotten me to where I am in my career/life today. I wish you all the best as you start the next stages of life!”Palmer, with a career 62.5 percent completion rate, leaves as the only quarterback to throw for more than 4 Carlton Davis Color Rush Jersey ,000 yards in a season with three teams. He did it twice for Cincinnati, once for Oakland and three times with Arizona.Palmer spent seven years with the Bengals, leaving in a dispute with owner Mike Brown that led him to hold out to start the 2011 season, saying he would retire if he wasn’t traded.He eventually was dealt to Oakland for considerable compensation 鈥?a first-round draft pick in 2012 and second-rounder in 2013. Palmer started nine games for the Raiders that season. He put up big numbers with the Raiders but there was little success in wins and losses. Oakland eventually deemed him expendable and sent him to Arizona without much in return.In addition to the two ACL injuries and this season’s broken arm, Palmer also was limited to four games in 2004 with an elbow injury and missed time with a concussion and shoulder injury in Arizona.Still, Palmer said he would “especially miss the grind” of being an NFL player.“It’s the part I don’t think people fully appreciate,” he wrote, “maybe because many NFL players make the game look so easy and effortless. The mental and physical preparation it takes to compete 鈥?week in and week out, year in and year out 鈥?is draining and grueling but has always been my favorite part.”Now, Cardinals President Michael Bidwill and general manager Steve Keim are looking for a new coach and a new quarterback.Several interviews for the coaching job reportedly have been lined up. Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that the Cardinals had received permission to talk to Steelers offensive line coach and former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak.The departures of Arians and Palmer leave Larry Fitzgerald as the lone remaining member of the triumvirate that represented the core of the Cardinals’ push for a title the past five years.Fitzgerald, 34, caught 109 passes this season, second-most in the NFL, and has a contract for next season. But he has said he will take some time before deciding whether to return..
