Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones on “Undisputed” Monday and wound up with some major scoopage.
The Hall of Famer is co-host of the FS1 show and dialed up the Atlanta Falcons star wideout live on the air.
“You want to go to the Cowboys, Julio? Or you want to stay in Atlanta?” Sharpe asked. Jones responded, “I’m outta there, man.”
This is huge: Shannon Sharpe called Julio Jones live on @undisputed: Julio said he's "out of there" when asked if he wants to stay in Atlanta. He also said he doesn't want to go to the Cowboys. "I want to win."
Holy cow. I don't think he knew he was live. pic.twitter.com/5D8cXjclQt

When asked where he ideally would like to end up, Jones replied, “I want to win.”
That no doubt was spawned because he was seen on social media in a Cowboys sweatshirt over the weekend.
Met Julio Jones in Dallas, wearing a cowboys jersey…wouldn’t be mad! @AdamSchefter pic.twitter.com/3pnuDDHfl1

One question that is unanswered is whether Jones knew he was on the air when the Hall of Famer dialed him up.
Jones has 848 catches for 12,896 yards and 60 touchdowns since being a first-round pick of the Falcons in 2011.
One elite DB, Jalen Ramsey, appears to be doing some subtle recruiting.
A winning culture, a great city, prime time games, LA’s number 1 football team, etc etc..
sounds like the Rams should be a place superstars should want to play football lol 👀🤷🏾♂️
Blessings 🙏🏾 #YesImRecruiting lol I wanna win 🏆
