Late day shocker as the Eagles try to steal back some of the headlines from Red October by signing former All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones. #HowieSZN:

Jones played in 10 games last year for the Bucs where he only had 24 catches for 299 yards and two touchdowns. No one knows how much he has left in the tank, but man did this dude kill the Eagles every time he matched up against them:

Julio Jones has 50 catches for 804 yards and five TDs in seven career games against the Eagles, including a game-winning TD in 2019. Now, he'll try to bring some of that to Philadelphia as the Eagles’ potential No. 3 WR. pic.twitter.com/vDEe8EE7Ib

If I can bring it back to the Phils for a second this feels like Ruben Amaro signing Pedro Martinez during the 2009 season. Low risk, back of the rotation starter, and a good insurance option. Hopefully it’s a different outcome in the championship game this time.

Is this the last memory we’re going to have of Quez Watkins?

Absolutely brutal. Look at that hole! pic.twitter.com/a4qoFWbYJN
