The writing is on the wall for the Atlanta Falcons. Julio Jones wants out. Their star wide receiver is no longer interested in taking part in yet another rebuild.
Declaring his intention to move on from the franchise during a segment of Undisputed, the wideout said he’s looking to go to a side that’s all about winning.
