The Eagles have signed Felix Jones to help their running game. Is he worth going after?

Eagles signed Felix Jones.

Under new coach Chip Kelly, the Eagles are going to run, run it again and run it some more. So even though "Fragile Felix" faceplanted after DeMarco Murray got hurt last year, taking a flier on a back that holds a career yards-per-carry average of 4.79 makes some sense. Jones figures to battle with Chris Polk and UDFA Miguel Maysonet for No. 3 duties behind LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown. He can also help in the return game. It's somewhat reminiscent of the Eagles' 2011 free-agent signing of a declining Ronnie Brown. Brown ended up with just 42 carries on the season and then moved on.

Free agent Felix Jones is visiting the Patriots on Wednesday.

The Fragile Felix world tour is in full effect, but it's impossible to see him as a fit for a team that's already five deep at running back. Jones visited the Eagles on Tuesday. He's finally working toward finding a new home, but it's unlikely to be either Philadelphia or New England.

Free agent Felix Jones worked out for the Eagles on Tuesday.

It's probably just due diligence, as the Eagles are expected to let UDFA Miguel Maysonet and Chris Polk battle for No. 3 duties behind LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown. It's Fragile Felix's second visit of free agency after he left Cincinnati without a deal in early April. Jones' injury history and recent dip in production is a toxic mix for a running back.

The Cincinnati Enquirer puts the Bengals' chances of signing free agent Felix Jones at 50-50.

Jones is coming off a career-low 3.6 yards per carry, and another season plagued by nagging injuries. He wouldn't be anything more than a rotational player. The Enquirer is confident the Bengals would still target a running back in the draft even if they sign "Fragile Felix".

The Bengals recently gave free agent Felix Jones a tryout.

It's unclear when the workout took place. The Bengals need speed in their backfield and are also tentatively expected to consider North Carolina's Giovani Bernard in the second round. Jones, 26 in May, could be a fallback option for Cincinnati should Bernard be drafted early than the Bengals anticipate.
