Julio Jones was willing to pay $84
Josh Morrissey Jersey ,435 to not work out with Matt Ryan at the Falcons minicamp this week.
But apparently he has no problem with going somewhere else, presumably on his own dime, to work out with him.
Via Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com, the Falcons quarterback said he expects Jones to be at the private workouts he has conducted pre-training camp.
They’ve generally gone to South Florida but Ryan didn’t reveal details of the trip, but made it clear he hoped to see his top wideout
Phillip Danault Jersey , who has stayed away from Falcons workouts while hoping for an upgraded contract.
“There’s probably about 12 of us that are going to get together in the month of July, and he’ll certainly be a part of that,” Ryan said. “We’ll have an
extended period where we get some work together. You know, that’s something that
we’ve done in the past. The past couple of years, we were down in Miami.
“This year is a little bit later due to kind of my offseason
Womens Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey , but we’ll still have that chance to work together. And I think that will be really productive for us.”
Ryan just became the father to twins, so he pushed the passing camp back later in the offseason. The quarterback also downplayed the time it would take
to catch Jones up on the changes to the offense this year, as second-year
coordinator Steve Sarkisian has tweaked some things.
“I don’t think that will be difficult,” Ryan said. “He’s such an incredible player, such a talented player. And he’s been working hard. He’s in great shape.
I think he’ll pick those new things up really quickly. And he’s got a lot of
time on task with 95 percent of our system. So
Scottie Upshall Jersey , he knows this system inside and out. He’s always extremely well-prepared. And I’m confident and positive he’ll be ready to
go.”
Jones has three years and $35 million left on his old contract, but other recent deals in the wide receiver market have made his shrink in comparison.
Cornerback Adonis Alexander didn’t wait long to sign his first NFL contract.
Washington used a sixth-round pick on Alexander in Wednesday’s supplemental draft and announced on Friday that Alexander has signed his four-year rookie
deal with the team.
Alexander left Virginia Tech and entered the supplemental draft after being declared academically ineligible for the 2018 season. He also served a pair of
suspensions earlier in his time with the Hokies and said this week that he’s
using his off-field issues as a “learning tool” for how to “form myself as a
man.”
Alexander joins Josh Norman, Orlando Scandrick, Fabian Moreau, Quinton Dunbar and seventh-round pick Greg Stroman at cornerback in Washington.
