The Philadelphia Eagles are adding more weapons to their already potent offense. According to multiple reports, the Eagles have signed seven-time Pro Bowl wideout Julio Jones to a one-year deal.
Jones will reportedly land on the Eagles’ practice squad but is expected to be elevated or signed to the active roster soon.
The Eagles were in need of a wide receiver depth after third-year wideout Quez Watkins landed on Injured Reserve due to a hamstring injury. The team worked out several veterans but ended up going with a proven player in Jones to complement their young wideout duo of AJ Brown and Devonta Smith.
Julio Jones is considered one of the best wide receivers of his generation. He spent 10 years with the Atlanta Falcons and broke almost all important receiving records for the franchise. Jones earned seven Pro Bowl nods and five All-Pro selections during his time in Atlanta while leading the league in receiving yards twice.
Jones’ career has been on a downward trajectory since he left the Falcons in 2021. Playing for the Tennessee Titans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the past two seasons, Jones managed only 55 catches for 733 yards and three touchdowns.
