He's visiting tomorrow.
I like this move.
Are miles worth more if you fly out of Philly or something? That's the only reason I can see some of these guys coming in for a visit.

SJ > SS
I didn't even know he was a free agent. Has he had a couple of bad years of late or something?
I've been wondering if The Plan is to bring in a SS and move Mikell to FS
He had a knee injury last year, played 12 games. He's had 14 pics in the last 3 seasons.

had an off year last year after a couple really good ones
I think he struggled last year, but he's generally quite highly regarded.
Can't hurt.

Seriously? Again with the making a big deal between a SS and a FS?
The Eagles' Pro Bowl RG is probably going to be at LT this year. There's a much bigger difference between those two spots than there is between the two safety spots.
P.S. This is comedy gold (the comments below). (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=17506)
Someone mentioned making Reggie Brown a safety.
P.P.S. :-X

This is the move they should have made instead of farging around with Springs.
yep, i really liked Jones coming out of college.
I totally forgot this guy was a FA, kind of surprising he hasn't gotten a lot of interest. I know he had an off year but when does that stop NFL teams.
sold.
I can't wait for this guy to sign with the Lions tomorrow.
I'm slightly aroused by this being a possibility

Yes, seriously. JJ imo is fairly good with adjusting scheme to personnel if need be, and says (ideally) the safeties should be interchangeable, but he plays mostly man/free pass coverages unless it's zone for long passing downs or something like they can't stop Fitz. If they bring in a 220 - 225 lb SS, he's not going to be interchangeable with Mikell and won't be able to play centerfield like Dawk did.

You forgot they're down a safety now.
This guy has 14 INT's the first 3 years he's started and last year he only played 12 games. I think the guys might have some ball hawking skills even at that size. Mikell has 5 career INT's. Bring this guy in!
The guy can lay the wood. He's been one of the brighter spots are a very poor squad. He gone left on an island a lot of the time in Clevland, and held his own. With better CBs, I like the idea of just letting this guy fly around. I had hoped the Eagles would have pursued him at some point in the FA period.
Quote
Jones had his best statistical season in 2006. He started all 16 regular season games and had a breakout season recording 111 tackles and led all strong safeties with 5 interceptions. He made a career high 13 tackles at the Cincinnati Bengals on September 17. He was named the AFC Defensive Player of the week with three tackles and two interceptions versus the New York Jets on October 29. Just as he did in the previous season, he started in all 16 regular season games of the 2007 season. He had 96 tackles and five interceptions, which again led all players at his position.

do they have interchangable safties in heaven?
All I heard was, "Blah blah blah I'm a dirty tramp."
I've liked him for awhile too...he was a pimp at Georgia.
This would make me happy. And thats what they should be worry about....my happiness
So why didn't Denver go after him?
Quote from: General_Failure on March 05, 2009, 09:13:05 PM

probably because hes looking for big time money...which is why he hasnt signed with anyone yet

Yes he was. He was a monster in an otherwise suspect secondary his senior year.
jesus people put your hard ons away
Farg the hard ons. GET SEAN JONES!
He'd fit right in with the Eagles D. Any fan would be a retard not to like this possibility
If the Eagles sign him I'm going to spell his name Jonez to make it sound gangsta.
I'm gonna come out and say it. I have not liked this guy for a while. Mostly because Cleveland is irrelevant and I had never heard of him until yesterday afternoon. But he sucks. Balls.

any news on this?
Sure.
wouldnt doubt if the Eagles start a train of suitors now for this guy, cause it was clear he wasnt on anyones to get list

youre right I didnt study the Cleveland Browns safeties last year--my bad
and stop adding words jinxy. he was way way under the radar from a media standpoint and wasnt
reported anywhere as a big FA need at the S position..thats my only point
pretty sure the media radar and :CF radar does not accurately portray the radar of NFL front offices
RADAR
Radar spelled backwards is radar.

One-Year Deal is DONE - "Breaking News" on PE.com
damn--that just shows you here for the long-haul
WOOT!
Change the thread title...
Sean Jonez
baaaawlin like a beeeetch
(http://image.examiner.com/images/blog/wysiwyg/image/Sean_Jones.jpg)
He'll be cut in camp as soon as Demps makes one solid play.
Quote from: reese125 on March 06, 2009, 03:47:56 PM

They really, really want to make Demps the FS of the future. Really, really. Problem is that they are not so sure that the future can start today, and their "stopgap" signed with Denver.
Plan B? Someone almost as old as Dawkins
Plan C? Guy not coming off his best year that wants to prove himself and get REALLY paid next year
Plan C FTW!
the countdown is on for the first person to have a sean jones avatar
They actually brought him in to get in there and compete with Kolb:
QuoteThe Atlanta, GA, native attended Westlake High School. As a senior quarterback in 1999, Jones threw for 2,490 yards and 31 touchdowns, while rushing for 806 yards and 11 scores. He also notched 13 interceptions as a defensive back, en route to all-state and All-USA Today honorable mention honors.
Good signing.
One year deal his choice or the Eagles choice?
Hahahaha.
Hahaahahahahahahahaa.
Totally his choice. Hahahahahahah.
Ha.
Meaning...he signed a 1yr deal to have a job, show his stuff and then look for the big deal that has not appeared this year.
Either way, I dig this one.
If it motivates him to play well and get paid next off season then I don't have a problem with it.
(Except for the fact that if he does get paid, it obviously won't be with the Eagles).
its perfect--he has a stellar one year and leaves for the taterskins in 2010 for $20 million guaranteed
I dig it too
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on March 06, 2009, 03:58:32 PM

The Eagles offered the deal, and he signed it. This isn't rocket science.
a small light in the bleak future. however i like the guy and hope he kills people
1 year deal is odd, he must be getting shtein for offers and figures there's a hole here so he can prove his worth and sign a bigger deal next season.
He has that atlanta dirty south accent I love it.
Y'know I juz wanna get out deaa and win fooootbaaawl games.
Jonez n Demps gonna be ballin.
so Jones - SS and Mikell - FS ???
Sir, I believe this thread should be titled Quintin Jones, Philadelphia Eagle.

agree--the eagles probably offered a 3-4 yr deal with a very small signing bonus. I think its very wise on his agents part...especially coming into this defensive system where his chances of playing well are very high
you got an uncapped year coming up, he plays well--cha-ching.
I'm not even sure Big Play Demps doesn't step up and win that job. Everyone focuses on that Fitzgerald play, but he's a ball hawk and was great at it in college.

Fine with me... if he comes in and light shtein up... he helps the team and next year, the Eagles value the secondary like nobody's biz so, maybe they'll throw the money out there to try to keep him.
Never happen. Demps will be the starter by mid-season if not before no matter how well/poorly this cat plays.
Quote from: EagleFeva on March 06, 2009, 04:59:10 PM

Oh yeah?
Well, they do value it like nobody else. Of course, they value everything oddly.
yes the secondary, not the player
"I looked up to Dawkins as a kid." Ouch. He's only like 7 years younger.
he'll either play like ass or get injured and we'll resign him for 10 years or
he'll do well and price himself out of our range and he'll never be an eagle again.
win win pretty much from the FO.
Quote from: FastFreddie on March 06, 2009, 05:08:41 PM

Jones is an Atlanta kid. He probably had his first lay before his first pimple.
You know you wanted to type first kid.
Quote"I didn't want to sign a long-term deal with a team that I didn't feel like was family. A one-year deal here right now, I will be able to just come out and showcase my talent and hopefully we can let everything iron itself out from there."
Stallworth redux
should improve the special teams
Odds of him getting injured in a preseason game?
Quote from: General_Failure on March 06, 2009, 07:27:37 PM
Odds of the team telling everyone the he got injured in game 5 of the season and forcing Demps down our throats for the rest of the year whether he deserves it or not?
97%
Odds of Banner then trying to lowball him on a 4 year deal as he laughs his way out of town? I say 200%.
He won't be an Eagle next year, but who cares? Denver will cut Dawkins.
We can get Dawkins back for so friggin' cheap, it'll be awesome!
players should know to NEVER sign a one year deal with the eagles..for one banner is already pissed at jones right now for not excepting a lowball long term deal....so hes one mistake away from being blackballed.....hes also a midseason extension rejection away from sitting on the bench because banner will wanna kill his value on the open market merely out of spite
I guess Washington didn't make him an offer.

I cannot say I am disagreeing with this at all, excepting that you are iffy at best on when to use "accepting" vs. "excepting."
care factor: negative eight billion
Jones is being brought in to fill the gap for a year so that they can draft a replacement...
I say Draft a replacement yeah...
KICK BUTT
not this year...could be the worst year ever for safeties...in fact there might only be 2 safties and corners combined in the first round
Good thing the Eagles have two picks then, that doubles their chances of getting one.

YES!
You know that if they end up in the top half of the first round next year they'll trade out.
what if they end up in the top third
They'll draft a lineman. After trading out of that pick.
If they're in the top third, they'll trade their first and second to move up to the top fifth and THEN draft a lineman.

After watching the clip of TO burning Consindine and beating Dawk during that early Monday night game over and over and over on ESPN last night (you'd think it was the only two clips they had on file of Owens) I am no longer freaking out.
you mean dawkins couldn't cover one of the best wr in the game one on one? cut his ass.
i'm sure sean jones will run with fitzgerald and lock his ass down next year

Whoa whoa whoa - Are you saying Jones has Munson speed?
Why would he need Munson speed when covering Fitzgerald? He'd only need Fitzgerald speed, or maybe Vick speed.
So much for this move. Dude is running with the 2nd/3rd stringers. He's looked terrible on STs too.
Macho Harris, who has to get an MRI for his ankle, was 1st team FS last night which was kind of surprising.
if the browns let you walk you probably arent very good
likewise if the Eagles let you walk
love, LJ
go chain smoke some more you filthy jew
wha?
ha
He should continue to be the starting FS.
WHile Macho hasn't really made any mistakes, he hasn't really made any big plays either.
Sean Jones hits like a truck and has a nose for the ball.
couldn't agree more. he was all over the field and made his presence known. start him :yay :yay
From what I understand he is the starter now.
Yeah. Reid said he would have started last week even if Macho was healthy. That's pretty much the definition of starter.
