Falcons WR Julio Jones agrees to 2018 pay bump

Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has ended his holdout, and the team has moved money around in his deal to pay him $13.4 million in 2018, $2.9 million more than his previous cap number of $10.5 million.

Fantasy Impact: 

This move makes Jones the sixth-highest paid receiver for 2018. After previously making less than guys like Emmanuel Sanders and DeSean Jackson, and seeing big free agency deals go to Allen Robinson and Sammy Watkins, this should keep Jones plenty happy for now. The Falcons have said they will talk about a re-structuring/extension of Jones' contract at the end of the season.
