The 34-year-old Jones is a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro who should fit right in with A.J. Brown.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones makes the touchdown catch against Dallas Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland during the second half of an NFL wild-card football game, Monday, Jan. 16, 2023, in Tampa, Fla. The Eagles added another big name to their passing attack Tuesday, signing star veteran wide receiver Julio Jones to the practice squad.
Jones had 24 catches for 299 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games last year with the Bucs and started this season unsigned. Over his career, he has caught 903 passes for 13,629 yards and 63 touchdowns. Jones career receiving yardage ranks 16th all-time and is tied with Wes Welker for 23rd all-time in receptions.Signing Jones is somewhat reminiscent of the Eagles adding veteran defensive tackles Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph midway through last season.
When Jones requested a trade from Atlanta the summer before the 2021 season, Brown was instrumental in recruiting him to the Titans. Tennessee eventually sent a second- and fourth-round pick to Atlanta for Jones, and he caught 31 passes for 434 yards and a touchdown. The Titans released him the following offseason, giving way for him to sign with the Bucs in pursuit of a championship during Tom Brady’s final year.
