The Facts:
Two hours after the Lions' release was made public, 12 teams showed interest, according to Jones, including the Eagles -- a team he wouldn't mind playing for. "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," Jones said.

The oft-injured former first-round pick also said he had no visits to any NFL teams scheduled, but: "I'm ready to move on from the Lions. ... Apparently, some people still think I can play in this league." And sharing a backfield with Eagles star Brian Westbrook? "Are you kidding me? That would be awesome," Jones said. ... Stay tuned. It'll be interesting to see if 12 teams are actually interested or if Jones is simply trying to generate some buzz.
