Chip Kelly had this to say about the Eagles' two moves on the first day in free agency:

On Malcolm Jenkins: "We really liked Malcolm's versatility. He can line up at either safety spot, can come in and make a tackle and can play man-to-man as well. I had a chance to study him on tape leading up to the playoff game and really liked what I saw. He's a sharp kid and is ultra-competitive. We are really happy to have him in Philadelphia."

On Donnie Jones: "Donnie proved he was a great weapon for us last year. He had a really good season for us. I like the fact that we continued our trend of re-signing our core players. He's a good teammate and a player we prioritized during this free agency process."
