Eagles offered James Jones a contract before he signed with Giants, per report

Veteran free agent wide receiver James Jones has signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants, according to NFL media's Ian Rapoport. More interestingly, however, Rapoport notes the Philadelphia Eagles were one of a few other teams who made offers to Jones this offseason.

This news is at least a little interesting considering the circumstances. The Oakland Raiders released Jones following the 2015 NFL Draft on May 5, so the Eagles already had first round pick Nelson Agholor in the fold before making an offer to him.
