From ESPN
Former Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones has agreed to sign with
the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal, a league source told ESPN
NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The 2008 first-round draft choice out of Arkansas spent the first five
years of his career with the Cowboys. The free agent had reportedly
visited with the Eagles and first-year coach Chip Kelly last week
before working out for the New England Patriots.
The 26-year-old Jones started seven games last season while playing in
all 16, finishing with 402 yards on 111 carries for a 3.6 average. He
had three rushing touchdowns with 25 receptions for 262 yards and two
TDs through the air.
Jones will join a running back stable anchored by LeSean McCoy with
Bryce Brown as the No. 2 back.
McCoy was limited to 840 yards last season after rushing for a
career-high 1,309 yards in 2011. He missed four games late in the
season with concussion symptoms.

Presuming Chip Kelly watched film of Bryce Brown fumbling, I presume he wanted a backup capable of holding onto the football. This presumption doesn't explain why he kept Vick, however.

now Philly's problem. Jones is broken down, washed up.
He's a great guy, to have as a neighbor or something.
Just don't sign him to your football team. He's fragile.
Great pickup, Eagirls.
