Dez needs a new contract. If he wants to sacrifice a game check, that's his prerogative and right. He deserves a contract and deserves to be one of the highest paid (if not THE highest) paid WRs in the league. A deal will get done by the 15th, IMO, and this will be moot. He's still fully committed to the team and torching those sorry Redskins (again).
I don't really agree with skipping games, but I'd expect the team to come halfway as well. To do something to everyone else's detriment is not really the definition of team, but I get it. Technically he is still under contract to play.
He will get his money eventually. I think Atl is engaging Julio pretty soon. They want something done sooner rather than later.

Falcons released Sam Baker.
Wow.

Should have plenty. Ought to be pretty improved honestly. Baker has played 2 games in 2 years. Not really counting on him for much after patella, major back, knee surgeries in the last few years. He isn't back practicing or rehabbing much I don't think.
Matthews, Chester, Hawley or Stone, Asomoah, Shraeder. L to R is projected I think.

Contract-year WR Julio Jones said a holdout would be "selfish."
Jones' agent and the Falcons are in the midst of extension negotiations. But unlike Demaryius Thomas and Dez Bryant, Julio has been at practice every day to get reps in the new Kyle Shanahan scheme. "I'm not going to hold out for anything. My teammates need me. I'm being selfish if I'm not here and doing what I need to do," he said.

There's a big difference between Julio and Dez and Demarius. Julio is on a normal contract they're franchised. Cause June first or whenever the deadline rolls around came around the Falcons can no longer save money cutting Julio. If Julio gets hurt now he still gets paid. If Dez or Demarius gets hurt they can get cut and get nothing.

Neither one of those guys is in any danger of getting cut.
Yes they are two different types of contracts, but when they sign, its guaranteed right?
