Host Shannon Sharpe called Jones on speakerphone, so it’s not clear if he was aware that the conversation was televised.
“I want to win,” Jones said.
Here’s more from NBC Sports:
The Falcons are known to be shopping Jones, but his contract is going to be an issue. Jones is guaranteed a $15.3 million salary this season, and given how weak the wide receiver market was in free agency, it’s clear that there are not a lot of teams looking to spend a lot of money on a veteran wide receiver. Trade negotiations may prove to be less about what the Falcons can get for Jones, and more about how much of Jones’ salary the Falcons are willing to pay to get a trade done.
Jones, 32, signed a three-year contract extension with the Falcons in 2019 for a reported $66 million.
