NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed Julio Jones is not expected to attend voluntary OTAs next week.
The Falcons aren't overly concerned as Jones was absent for most of OTAs while vacationing in China last offseason. Jones, who made headlines earlier this offseason when he deleted pictures of the Falcons from his social media, is reportedly looking for a "correction or update" to his current deal. Rapoport believes Jones has built up enough goodwill within the organization for the Falcons to accommodate him. The 29-year-old is due a reasonable $10.5 million salary in 2018.
What a selfish POS. I wonder if the Falcons will take a 3rd rounder for him, they really need to rid themselves of this cancer.
(Too lazy to figure out what that is, and then to look. Sorry.)

Looks like the Falcons fans not flipping out https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2018/5/18/17370008/report-julio-jones-skipping-otas-wants-update-to-his-contract-atlanta-falcons-hold-out-contract
He's a top 5 WR in the league by almost every measure, if you're looking at age, etc. he's at worst top 10.
His 2015 was an all-time great WR season.
I wouldn't be against trading him though, he's 29 and WR's generally don't age well.
He has a pretty reasonable cap hit though so a trade could happen should Ridley pan out and Atlanta pursues it.
Financially any separation would be more likely after this season.
damn it. I got rick rolled arc style by Uconn?
