Eagles Work Out Former Cowboys RB Felix Jones

Felix Jones drew nary a whiff in free agency through two months, as the Cincinnati Bengals were his only known visit.

The Dallas Cowboys' former first-round pick finally has a second suitor. Jones worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, a source informed of the visit told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the workout.

Jones showed his usual flashes of playmaking ability last season, but his effectiveness waned when forced to carry the load with DeMarco Murray out of the lineup. In that sense, Chip Kelly's up-tempo offense is a good fit. Jones is no more than a rotational player, which would be his role with the Eagles.

Maybe a return guy?

 

Fragile and dances around too much.

 

Can't hurt to give him a look as a role player.

 

His main reason for not getting a contract with Dallas.

 

I always liked him wouldent mind it

 

the mentioning of his name just caused another injury

 

And, Barkley isn't much better in the fragile department.

 

So a fragile runningback is a great addition.
