LeSean McCoy Rumors: Eagles, Chargers Potential Landing Spots in Free Agency

A return to the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly headlines the list of potential free-agent landing spots for running back LeSean McCoy, who spent the 2019 season with the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reported the update Thursday and noted the Los Angeles Chargers are another "possibility" for the six-time Pro Bowl selection.

McCoy is no longer the three-down workhorse he was during his first stint with the Eagles, who selected him in the second round of the 2009 draft. He remained productive on a per-touch basis with K.C., though.

The 31-year-old Pennsylvania native recorded 101 carries for 465 yards (4.6 YPC) with four touchdowns in 2019. He added 28 catches for 181 yards and a score.

His track record includes six years of at least 1,000 yards rushing, six Pro bowl selections and being named First-Team All-Pro twice. He's tallied 89 touchdowns in 160 career games.

In January, McCoy told Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer he planned to finish his career in Philly.

"I'm going to retire as an Eagle," he said. "Right now, I'm a Chief. I'm doing my thing here. But when it's all said and done, that's home for me. It's weird because places I play at, people know that."

McCoy, who also spent four years with the Buffalo Bills as part of what could become a Hall of Fame career, isn't ready to hang up his cleats quite yet, though.

"I'm not ready to retire," he told reporters before the Super Bowl. "I still can play, so I'm not gonna retire yet, but that day is coming. That day is definitely coming."

If he returns to the Eagles, he'd likely form a three-back committee with Miles Sanders and Boston Scott in 2020. It would be usage similar to what he received in Kansas City last season.

The Chargers have more question marks at the position with Melvin Gordon (unrestricted) and Austin Ekeler (restricted) both set to become free agents.

McCoy could also wait until the first wave of free agency is complete to see which teams beyond Philadelphia and L.A. have the biggest need at the position.
