Falcons have brilliant response to local anchor who criticized Julio Jones

The Atlanta Falcons had the last word for a local anchor who slammed Julio Jones for asking for a better contract.

After announcing that Jones would show up for training camp on time, the team’s social media account tweeted out a photo of Jones “Just in case anyone needs a new phone wallpaper or desktop screensaver…”

Earlier this week, Fox 5 Atlanta anchor Buck Lanford tweeted at Jones, informing him that his 10-year-old son was looking for a new screensaver after Jones skipped the Falcons’ mandatory minicamp and OTAs and was reportedly considering holding out of training camp as he negotiated with the team for a new deal.

Lanford, upon learning Jones was going to camp tweeted that it was “great news.”

He also seemed to get a laugh from the team’s tweet.
