The Bow Tie Chronicles: Julio Jones taking some heat for holdout
In the 66th episode of the Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, we discuss wide receiver Julio Jones' holdout and how it should be considered a reverse salary cap situation. Teams often cut players with years left on their contracts. In this case, the team needs to restructure the contract to better reflect the changing wide receiver market. They will have to find a way to do so now or later, like they've promised.
We also discuss owner Arthur Blank, the five position battles for training camp, the coverage and the phone number folks need who plan to attend training camp.
