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

What don't you get? Yes, they have needs on defense but their #3 WR went on IR last week and they need a veteran.  

Multiple things can be true at once.

I didn’t think they put Quez on IR? He’s just been dealing with an injury. Mind you Jones is an upgrade.

Julio looks washed to me but we'll see what he has left in the tank.

See the first line from Schefter, he's on IR.

Will they use Smitty in slot? Or will Julio play slot?

Can he play secondary?

Classic old EMB reference.  Well played. 

I have been away from the message boards for a few years. But this made me laugh for sure. Great memories.

At this point if Quez is never on this roster again I dont think I would really notice. Underwhelming is an understatement. Guy has speed but just cant seem to put it all together.

I didn't even know that Julie wasn't on a team.

The Jones article on eagles.com says they IR'd him ahead of the Jets game.

 the team put Quez Watkins on Injured Reserve prior to Sunday's game at the Jets and elevated Devon Allen from the practice squad.

It may be a smarter move than we think. He will be able to get at least a foot of separation in the RZ and won't have to move far.

At this point in his career I’m not sure how effective he will be, but they did need another body after Quez went down, and it gives people something to talk about other than the loss. Low risk move that changes the narrative on talk radio.

Quez's vag got hurt and he's on IR?  And we signed Jones?  That's fantastic!!  Next up....Urlakurzzzzzz!!

Late career Larry Fitz when he's not injured... and he's at the airport 

He could still be a great red zone threat.

Julio is like a #4 at this point. More so a depth signing than someone that can actually contribute in a big way.

Even the decaying remnants of Julio Jones would know which way to go on a jet-sweep.

I get the negativity, given his age.

I bet he will soon be viewed as a key signing.

He’s not here to steal the long bomb, we can cross the field just fine.

He’s here to run the final few yards in the endzone and catch it there. To help our red-zone troubles. Pretty sure he can still do that with one arm strapped behind his back.

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

You need more than 2 receivers. Quez sucks, and Jones as a #3 at this point in his career. Makes perfect sense.

Probably Smitty, but they'll move them around.

IR or not, he doesn’t belong on an NFL roster. So either way they needed a #3 WR.
