Eagles among 12 teams interested in Kev Jones
Kevin Jones says he wouldn't mind playing next season for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he rooted for as a kid growing up in the Philly suburbs. Jones was released by the Detroit Lions on Thursday, opening up plenty of options for next season.
Two hours after the Lions' release was made public, 12 teams showed interest, according to Jones, including the Eagles. Jones' best season was his rookie year, when he rushed for 1,133 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games. In 4 years in the NFL, he rushed for 3,067 yards on 761 carries, with 24 touchdowns.
"When the Lions drafted me, it came as a big shock, because they weren't that much in the picture. It wasn't my dream situation. It would be a dream, however, to play for the Eagles. Going back to Philly, with all my relatives and friends back there, that's home to me. Chester will always be home to me. I have a real support system there in Philadelphia. Playing for the Eagles would be great
