Former Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones has agreed to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Tuesday.
The 2008 first-round draft choice out of Arkansas spent the first five years of his career with the Cowboys. The free agent had reportedly visited with the Eagles and first-year coach Chip Kelly last week before working out for the New England Patriots.
The 26-year-old Jones started seven games last season while playing in all 16 games, finishing with 402 yards on 111 carries for 3.6 average with three touchdowns, while adding 25 receptions for 262 yards and two touchdowns.
Jones will join a running back stable anchored by LeSean McCoy with Bryce Brown as the No. 2 back. McCoy was limted to 840 yards in 12 games last season after rushing for a career-high 1,309 yards in 2011.
