The Philadelphia Eagles currently have two running backs on the roster and the franchise’s all-time leading rusher would like to add his name to the mix.
While chatting with Ian Rapoport on WestwoodOne Radio, McCoy opened up about his exit from Philadelphia and his yearning desire to finish with the team that drafted him out of Pitt.
“It’s not a secret. Everybody knows it was a special place for me there when I was playing for the Eagles. I started there, they kind of changed my life for the better. I was 20 years old, you know? Coach Reid brought me up.”
“A lot of my best friends I played with, we’re still good friends. I just talked to Fletcher Cox, what, yesterday, just texting him and messing around. A lot of my good friends are still there.”
“So it would mean a lot for me to play back there when I’m done – to finish, I should say, my career out there.”
McCoy is coming off a healthy scratch in the Chiefs Super Bowl win over the 49ers and the market for him looks dry at this time.
With Howie Roseman and the Eagles proclaiming a youth movement, McCoy simply may not fit in the plans at this time.
McCoy is the leading rusher in Eagles history, with 6,792 yards and could choose to retire as an Eagle is he can’t find any free-agent suitors.
