Felix Jones Rumors & News

He's on the market once again. Running back Miguel Maysonet has been waived by Philly, after the team added ex-Cowboy Felix Jones last week. There was also some talk of disagreement between the GM and Head Coach, as Chip Kelly expressed some disinterest in the running back, but GM Howie Roseman hooked Maysonet up with a five figure signing bonus.  Whatever the case, the New York Jets now have an opportunity to nail the player that I, personally, have been very high on since before the combine.  Maysonet played one year of college ball at Hofstra before the entire football program wa...

The Eagles brought in former Cowboys RB Felix Jones on a year deal last week largely to compete for a 3rd, maybe 2nd string job. As is the case for pretty much any backup RB in the NFL, Jones will need to contribute on special teams, which he says he looking forward to. "I'm excited about kickoff returns," Jones said. "It's something I always did, something I always wanted to do. Whenever coach gives me an opportunity to go out there and do it, I'm ready to go." Jones has 64 kick returns in his career averaging 24 yards per return with 1 TD but also 2 fumbles. As PE.com points out, the...

Felix Jones: 'Weird' to be an Eagle - courierpostonline.comTruth. Cowboys get college free agency right - ESPN DallasTodd Archer writes that Cowboys have traditionally done a very good job with college free agents. Based on that, Archer argues there's reason to believe that the likes of linebackers Brandon Magee and Tank Reed, safety Jakar Hamilton or running back Kendial Lawrence could become contributors in 2013. And he asks a valid question: if the Cowboys are so successful with college free agents, why haven't they been as successful with their regular draft picks? Don't blame Dall...

A first-round pick in 2008 for the Cowboys, Jones averaged 4.8 yards and ran for 11 touchdowns in his five seasons.

The Eagles have reached a one year deal with former Cowboys first round pick Felix Jones according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 26 year old has spent the last 5 seasons with the Cowboys rushing for 2,728 yards & 11 TDs. He also caught 127 passes for another 11 TDs. As we noted when he first worked out, Jones has certainly flashed the ability that made Jerry Jones take him with a first round pick, but it's only been flashes. He's never been able to cement himself as the franchise type back the Cowboys thought they were getting when they took him over the likes of Chris...

Former Dallas Cowboys first-round pick Felix Jones didn't draw a lot of suitors in free agency this year. In fact, it took more than two months to line up any visits, but last week he finally made the rounds, visiting with the Bengals, Patriots and Eagles. According to multiple reports, Jones has finally found a new team in the Eagles, where he signed a one-year deal, as first reported by ESPN.
