There, he told host Shannon Sharpe -- who called him from his personal cell phone in the midst of the show -- that he is "out of there" when directly asked if he wanted to remain with the Falcons.While telling, the interview itself has now been thrust into controversy.First, it's unclear if Jones was aware that he was live on television at the time Sharpe called him and that he was being recorded.

With Jones e sentially saying that , it doesn't leave the Falcons any wiggle room to po sibly drive up the price by saying that they are open to keeping him for the 2021 season. Everyone now knows that Jones in all likelihood will be playing Cincinnati Bengals Sleepwear Underwear elsewhere once Week 1 rolls around and that card of saying he could remain in Atlanta has now been taken off the board for GM Terry Fontenot.
