Eagles Ink S Jones

The Philadelphia Eagles let longtime safety Brian Dawkins escape to Denver last week, they made a move today in an attempt to fill the void he left, by signing former Browns safety Sean Jones to a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Jones was a 2nd round choice in 2004 for the Browns, he has played his whole five year career in Cleveland. He was mostly used as a strong safety, but his playmaking skills make him a potential replacement for Dawkins at free safety. Jones will have to compete with Quintin Demps for the job.

"I played strong or free (safety) in Cleveland," Jones said. "I'm interchangeable, so either way it doesn't really matter."

The 27-year-old Jones has recorded 286 tackles and three forced fumbles in 60 games, including 44 starts. Jones, listed at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, had his best season in '06 when he finished with 107.5 tackles and five interceptions.
