The Facts: Jones informed the Falcons he will not attend the team's mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday and runs through Thursday, the Falcons announced Monday. "We have been in contact with Julio and his representation," general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in a statement. "We will not discuss those conversations publicly except to say we feel they have been productive and constructive. We understand the concerns and thoughts from their perspective. Although not ideal, Julio informed us today he would not be attending minicamp."

Diehards Line: The 29-year-old Jones, who missed the voluntary organized team activities, wants a new contract, as previously reported by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. The star wide receiver has three years remaining on his current deal and will earn a base salary of $10.5 million in 2018. The Falcons currently have $7.2 million in available salary cap space. We'll follow up as needed, but Jones could face fines for missing mandatory work.
