The Facts: Jones isn't expected to be in attendance for Atlanta's OTAs on Monday, and it's not a big deal -- or is it? Jones was in and out of OTAs last offseason with no detriment to the Falcons, and the situation appears similar this time around, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. But there's an additional wrinkle that could make what seems clear somewhat murky. Jones wants an update to his contract, which is scheduled to pay him $10.5 million in 2018, Rapoport reported.

Diehards Line:The star receiver, who has posted four straight seasons of at least 1,400 receiving yards, sat down in 2015 to sign his deal. So Jones' current average annual salary ($14.25 million) places him eighth in the league at the position, behind Antonio Brown, Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins, Jarvis Landry, A.J. Green and Davante Adams). That list alone proves his deal has become outdated. That said, Rapoport notes there is no ill will between the two sides and the Falcons seem willing to consider an update. Additionally, Jones, who's been training at Alabama, has been in regular communication with Falcons coach Dan Quinn. The team is OK with his work away from Flowery Branch, Georgia, where the franchise is headquartered, Rapoport added. Jones could stay away for the entire voluntary portion of OTAs, which isn't a problem to those in charge of the Falcons. Whatever the case, we'll continue to follow up as needed.
