Julio Jones trusts Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank and says he won't sit out as he awaits a new contract.

"Mr. Blank gave us his word," Jones said. "That's golden. ... [Blank's] word is that it's going to get done. ... There's no stress on my end. I'm not thinking about it.

"[Blank] makes it easy for me to go out and just work every day and not have one of those situations where there's a holdout or anything like that."

The Falcons have insisted several times this offseason they plan to give Jones a new contract.

Jones has two years left on his contract worth $9.6 million and $11.426 million, respectively.
