The Oakland Raiders aren’t the only team with some concerns at the wide receiver position.
On Thursday, it was reported that a deal between the Falcons and their long-time star WR was close, but just hours away from the start of the new season, it’s still not inked.
Jones ended up speaking to reporters and stated that while he was dealing with an injury, he wasn’t sure he could join the team for Week 1 without having a new contract.
Julio Jones says he’s trying to be out there but “he doesn’t know” if he’ll play on Sunday if he doesn’t have a new contract. #Falcons
