No details yet but its a breaking news banner on there site. I like this ... it adds depth and for 1 year it's showing we still have faith in Demps.

I'll post some details as soon as they come available ...
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
I'm a little surprised
I didn’t think he’d accept a 1-year deal; all the Cleveland people seemed to think he’d want big money. But it’s a chance to prove himself and maybe get big money (from us or some other team). And it gives Demps another year like you mentioned. Good stuff.
i agree that it’s a good signing… i’m a little up in the air about the length… personally, i think Demps will work out. but say he doesn’t, at least this guy would have been insurance to get us through 2 or 3 years…

I can see it already
He has a great year, the fans demand we sign him long-term and the front office claims he’s too expensive and lets him go. Here’s hoping that’s not the case (except for the great year part).
Maybe he wanted the one year, and if he plays good, gets his big check next year with us.
City of Champions!
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they extend him ...
… midseason, or sometime before he becomes an FA again if it really works out well.
And yes, depending on who they draft and how Demps plays, it could be a Takeo Spikes-ish situation.
Good Signing
Good Signing. Adds depth and experience to the position. He is fairly young at 27 I believe.
I am curious why only one year deal.
Because of Demps?
Because they are eyeing someone in the draft?

I thought I read he was 29.
(bothers to look it up)
Nope. You were right.
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 1/2 tackles and five interceptions.
what does it tell you ....
that he was willing to sign a one-year deal? The market for starting safeties can’t be that bad, can it?

haha
I’ll defer to your post for comments.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
it's "you're a genius"
love the irony there. heh heh.
good signing for the birds. if he plays really well, maybe we work out an extension for him, if not, it gives demps another year to grow before putting his big-boy shoes on.

Solid signing
All the other Safeties (Leonard, Phillips etc.) were gobbled up. Love the 1 year deal. Make him sing for his supper!
He’ll also replace Considine on special teams. Nice work Birds.

I don’t know about that … he said on WIP he was promised a starting job.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
We'll see.
Our new Special Team Coach, Ted Daisher had him on special teams for the Browns. It would make sense Jones would would help implement ST package. I’m sure he wants to start, but that doesn’t sound like our FO to “guarantee” starting job.
but that doesn’t sound like our FO to "guarantee" starting job
100% agree … in his PC he say he is competing for a safety spot, and wasn’t sure which one. Maybe I heard him wrong on WIP.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Yeah I was wrong … he said
“I like playing strong, but we have Quintin Mikell already at strong. I don’t know how they’re going to do it. There is a lot of talent in this defensive backfield here in Philly. Hopefully I can come fill in where that void is from missing Dawkins. Hopefully I will become a great player.”
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Fine we dont guarantee the starting job fine, a little compation never hurt. It only makes the rest of the the secondary have to work hard and improve.
And this one year deal is a pretty good thing when you think about, if we decicde we want to go the Demps route then we have that option, say we dont want the demps route then we just resign him.
GREAT SIGNING!!!!!!
I like this a lot ...
… Has anyone floated the theory that Jones plays on run downs and Demps plays on passing downs and Mikell plays all the time? I know we were mentioning some of Jones’s strengths and limitations on threads last night.
If Demps got some burn in certain packages this year, he definitely will next year.
Anyway, our top 6 DBs look like a group we can definitely work with. And maybe still address the position in the draft.
With 12 picks
I’m sure Birds will be moving up and down the draft board. Anyone know how many compensatory draft picks will be getting? Dawk, Considine, LJ should fetch us a couple more. This is an embarrassment of riches for a team maybe a “pass interference” call away from Super Bowl.
Not sure about compensatories
But for the guys you mention we’d get those selections next year. I don’t know if we lost any players last year that would give us compensatories this year?
Wow I am really impressed with this deal. Not only did we sure up this position but we aren’t forced to push Demps into a role he might not be ready for yet. A year from now we will be in a much better position to address the FS position for the long term.
