NFL.com's Tom Pelissero has reported that the Falcons and Julio Jones are finalizing a multi-year extension.
The extension will reportedly make Jones the NFL's highest-paid receiver. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport added that the deal should end up at three years and be worth roughly $66 million. Pelissero noted that while there are still minor issues to work out, the deal should be done today. Jones showed some hesitation throughout the week in regards to his game status without a new contract, but those issues should be put to rest with confirmation of this deal. He's expected to be shadowed by Xavier Rhodes Sunday against the Vikings, although it's a winnable matchup against a cornerback who was significantly better in 2016-2017 than 2018.
