The Philadelphia Eagles are signing seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones, the team announced Tuesday. He is joining the team on a one year contract.
Jones went unsigned during the offseason after spending the 2022 campaign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught 24 passes for 299 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games last year.
Jones hasn’t played a full season since 2018, but brings immediate depth and experience to Philly. The Eagles’ receiver depth chart is headlined by AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. Behind them is where it starts to get thin. The Eagles recently placed wide receiver Quez Watkins on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. The team also worked receivers Marquez Callaway and Dezmon Patton on Monday before signing Jones.
AJ Brown leads the team with 42 receptions, 672 yards, and two touchdown catches. He also played with Jones in Tennessee before joining Philadelphia in a 2022 trade. Julio Jones looks to be the number 3 receiver behind Brown and Smith.
