One of the favorites to win the Super Bowl has made a move to acquire a big-name wide receiver.
The Philadelphia Eagles signed seven-time Pro Bowler Julio Jones to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

Jones was a free agent this season after spending last season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles made a move to sign the veteran after placing Quez Watkins on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Reports suggest Jones will start on the practice squad and then be moved to the 53-man roster, a procedure that typically happens when teams sign free agents this late into the season.
The Eagles were +750 to win the Super Bowl before acquiring Jones and remain +750 at FanDuel. None of the other futures odds were adjusted.
Action Network's NFL betting analyst Sean Koerner said he didn't expect any adjustments in futures markets.
Jones has 13,269 career receiving yards, which is the most of any active player in the NFL. He will likely slot in as the No. 3 or No. 4 wide receiver for the Eagles along with A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith and Olamide Zaccheaus.
