Julio Jones

Julio Jones is another superstar wide out fresh off a Super Bowl performance that has matched his output to his contract. There’s a trend as you can see that doesn’t bode well for Austin’s perceived justification.

Jones’ total 2016 total receiving stats:

  • 83 total receptions
  • 1,409 total receiving yards
  • Six total touchdowns

Average salary: >$14.5 million

Guaranteed money: $47 million

Signing bonus: $12 million

Jones’s current earnings have been earned on the field unquestionably and merits the rewards.
