Wide receiver Julio Jones says he’s ready to leave the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot has been reportedly entertaining trade offers for Jones since last month. An assistant to Jimmy Sexton, Jones’ agent, told The Associated Press that Sexton was unavailable. Jones’ $15.3 million base salary is guaranteed and he is set to cost the Falcons slightly more than $23 million against the salary cap next season. If the Falcons trade him after June 1, they would be able to split the dead money over two seasons.
