Atlanta Falcons reciever Julio Jones sent fans into a panic on Monday night after scrubbing his Twitter account of all things Falcons. The assumption is that there is trouble in the ATL.
According to reports those assumptions are wrong and Jones’ social media scrub has nothing to do with any issues between him and the Falcons. He is signed through the 2020 season and is their top target.
Julio Jones isn't going anywhere per source. Social media scrubbing has nothing to do Falcons who he is happy playing for, and plans to play his entire career for.

Media scrubs are never a good thing. The whole “he wants to play for the Falcons for his entire career” thing is likely code for “he wants to play for the Falcons if he gets more money to do so.”
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And a media scrub is some very thick smoke. NFL players don’t scrub their social media of the team they play for no reason.
