Welp, looks like ol' Ken Broo wasn't way off base after all:

AJ Green and his agent have used Julio as a base for negotiations in the past, so it's a safe bet that Green's next deal might resemble Julio's.

Quote:The Falcons signed Matt Ryan to an extension last offseason, and it’s looking like they’ll be locking up their other franchise player. The Falcons are “closing in on” a contract extension with Julio Jones, according to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report.
Freeman reports that the deal will pay Jones “$20 million a year over a four- or five-year” pact, with “anywhere from $50 million to $60 million in new guarantees.” Jones’ contract situation has caused a lot of headaches for the team recently, so this would be a huge development. Jones still has two years left on his current contract, but is grossly underpaid. Jones signed a very team-friendly deal a few years back, and decided last year that he wanted to be more fairly compensated.
AJ Green and his agent have used Julio as a base for negotiations in the past, so it's a safe bet that Green's next deal might resemble Julio's.
