Sean Jones to Visit Eagles
Posted by: Scott Tunstall
Free agent strong safety Sean Jones will be in town Friday to visit the Eagles. After flirting with Shawn Springs, the Birds will take a look at the ex-Brown to see if he fits into their immediate plans.
Now, Jones is a legit strong safety, which leads me to believe Quintin Mikell would slide to free safety. I like this scenario better than Sheldon shifting from cornerback. Mikell played a lot of center field last season anyway.
I like Jones as a player. At 6′1″, 225 he would bring needed size to a smallish secondary. Stay tuned for more.
I think it would be a good move to land Jones and slide Mikell to FS. Surrounded by a much better secondary Jones can be agressive and make plays. He is coming off an injury so I’m sure they are going to give him a thorough look. We will know more tomorrow afternoon, but I think it would be a nice move if they sign him.

March 5th, 2009 at 11:28 pmThis would be a good move. Jones has made a good amount of interceptions, and he is very physical in supporting the run.
March 6th, 2009 at 3:02 amsean jones has better numbers than both ed reed and troy palumalu the past 3 years not counting 2009 in which he missed 4 games for minor surgery….he also got snubbed on the pro bowl for the ‘06 season. top 3 safety potential…lets git him
