Falcons Troll Local News Anchor After Restructuring Julio Jones' Contract

Adam WellsJul 26, 2018

A local Atlanta news anchor found out directing statements toward athletes and sports teams on social media is a good way to get trolled. 

After NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Julio Jones agreed to a revised contract this season, the Atlanta Falcons shared this message on Twitter:

Vikings Cowboys Football
Titans 49ers Football

That was in response to Buck Lanford of Fox 5 tweeting this message when Jones appeared to be headed for a holdout awaiting a new contract:

Lanford did use Jones' official Twitter handle in his message, so perhaps the five-time Pro Bowler was so distraught about losing his spot as a screen saver that he moved to get a new deal done quickly. 

Fortunately for the Falcons and their fans, Jones will be present during training camp to get ready for the upcoming season.
