LeSean McCoy To Sign With Chargers Or Eagles?
Is LeSean McCoy going to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers or Philadelphia Eagles? Things are trending in that direction.
This past season the 31-year-old played for the Kansas City Chiefs and recorded 465 yards on 101 carries. Despite the Chiefs’ historic Super Bowl run, McCoy did not get any carries in the playoffs.
According to NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo, McCoy has zero interest in retiring.
“Certainly in LeSean McCoy’s mind, he thinks he’s got some good football left,” he said.
“It will not be in Kansas City for him in 2020. This is a little bit of a different scenario. He’s been in such high demand throughout his career, this is one where he’s going to have to wind up being the right fit.”
As a result of the limited postseason playing time, it is clear that Kansas City will not be a long-term stop for McCoy. He will move on once free agency commences, and there are two clear favorites for his services.
“I would not discount the possibility of him returning to the Eagles,” Garafolo continued.
“I also would not discount the possibility that he meets up with Anthony Lynn out with the Chargers, who are going to have some changes in the backfield. So, some interesting possibilities for LeSean McCoy as he heads into free agency.”
McCoy is obviously at a stage in his career where his production will be limited on matter what. That said, he can still be a valuable contributor on occasion if used sparsely over the course of the year.
