The Facts: Jones has two years and more than $21 remaining on his current deal, with a cap number of $13.5 million that the Falcons could reduce with an extension. General Manager Thomas Dimitroff said Tuesday he has had a brief discussion with Jones’ agent. “I believe there are a handful of elite receivers — of course Julio being one of this group — so, of course, he has the ability to be top paid,” Dimitroff said, via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.

Diehards Line: It's fair to wonder how long Antonio Brown will remain the highest-paid receiver in the game with Jones, who remains one of the best at his position, openly stating his desire for a new deal. His $14.25 million average ranks only 11th among receivers.
