John Clark reporting it.

 

Why? Too many mouths to feed the way it is. Over the hill to take over a speed role also. Better off playing out Zacc instead of having him compete for a spot.

Not sure if this was our top area of need....

 

So we have 5 or 6 guys hurt on defense and we sign a receiver?  I don't get it. 

I think I can talk myself into this.  Larry Fitzgerald had a great second act in the slot after a couple mediocre seasons as a declining outside guy.  Julio has a similar build and is even more of a freak athlete.  If the Eagles think they can deploy him in ways Tennessee and Tampa couldn't, this could be a nice pick-up given how bad our current options inside are.

Meh

I'd be excited if this was years ago

Why?? I am sure Smitty won't continue to have bad hands.....this makes no sense whatsoever.....

Catering to AJ?  He's probably still got a little gas in the tank.  More the Quez if he was healthy.  He's still gonna miss a huge pass!!!! LOL Not sure I like this move

AWESOME SIGNING!!!  (5 years ago ) 

Hope he helps out, but the secondary is depleted, need LBs, potentially RT depth.

But was he spotted at the airport? 

Put him in at CB, can’t be any worse than Jobe 

The Eagles have a spot after putting Quez on IR last weekend, although they promoted Devon Allen and Greg Ward remains on the practice squad. Interesting move.

Classic old EMB reference.  Well played. 

Howard Eskin just told me that by the time I read this Julio Jones was going to be an eagle.

6’3 HoF vet should help in the Redzone. Puts AJ/Smitty playing the slot which I like way more than Quez. Super low risk move, not sure why anyone is upset. 

Howie ony knows how to trash pick this year. Did he get blackballed by other GMs after all the praise during the draft?

Can he play LB, too?

Yeah, big name but not sure what he has left. Has been JAG last few years 
 

But he’s just on the PS now - let’s see. 

Doesn't have much left, but he's a better receiver than Quez and Oz.

I don't hate it 

Not sure how anyone can complain about this. 

Sure, he’s over the hill but this is a low-risk signing and he’s already the 3rd best WR on the team. 

?  ?  Need some bodies on defense.
