Has anyone heard anything about Julio Jones signing the 2011 Contenders?
Just curious if anyone has heard anything, I have 2 redemptions waiting and I have not heard a thing.

What I have heard is Panini reps telling people to request a replacement and he isnt signing. But this is word of mouth on the streets ... Not from a reputable source.

I'll go to his house and ask. He only lives about 20 minutes from me. Wait, if he moved, he only lives 5 minutes from me...
Nope he still lives in Alabama...

I'm most likely sticking it out. The panini customer service manager said they wouldn't send out the no auto stamp so I'm assuming eventually they will get a deal done(fingers crossed). Replacement wise because the Julio contenders has a smaller BV than all of his other main autos ud only get Demarco, gabbert or locker. Although I put together a pretty good case and he told me if he had an AJ that he would send it to me lol. Hope some of this rambling helps.

I called last month and they said he most likely won't be signing. I have been waiting about a year now for 2 of his Autos. When I talked to him they were replacing the Contenders with a Demarco Murray contenders.

I got sick of waiting about a month or so ago, and heard he wasn't signing due to a finiancial dispute with Panini. Sooo...my replacement was an AJ Green jersey auto /100 Timeless Treasures. I tried for a Green Contenders, but Panini said they don't bv the same, so they couldn't do it.

I got sick of waiting so they combined 2 redemptions I was waiting on (one was Julio Contenders) and sent me a Panini Gold Julio auto patch - sticker w/gold ink but was OK with it. I just wanted a Julio auto with a similar BV and this one was actually higher than the Contenders - also gave up waiting for a Marcel Dareus Contenders so combined the 2 for the Julio gold.
The guy didnt say Julio wasnt signing anything more but he did say he was one of their "problem signers" so i took that as a no go.
