However, it appears that he will not remain with the team. During a segment on Undisputed, Shannon Sharpe called Jones and asked him whether he wanted to go to the Dallas Cowboys or stay with the Falcons. Did he know he was being recorded live? People are not sure, however, the former Alabama receiver told Sharpe that is “out of there” in terms of staying with Atlanta.
This is huge: Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones live on @undisputed: Julio said he’s “out of there” when asked if he wants to stay in Atlanta. He also said he doesn’t want to go to the Cowboys. “I want to win.”
Holy cow. I don’t think he knew he was live. pic.twitter.com/5D8cXjclQt

He also does not want to go to the Cowboys. He wants to win, and he wants to win Super Bowls.
Jones has been working out with Derrick Henry. The Tennessee Titans are one of six teams interested in the 10-year veteran.
He has attracted the attention of the Patriots, Colts, Chargers, Ravens, and 49ers too. Jones has been selected to seven Pro Bowls and was twice named first-team All-Pro (2015, 2016). The 32-year-old is still one of the best all-around receivers in the league.
