LeSean McCoy Not Finished With The Playoffs Yet

LeSean McCoy is one of a number of decorated veteran running backs available in the free agent market this offseason.

Along with Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore, LeSean McCoy (33) is looking for a team he can see out the autumn of his career with. 

The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro was a part of both the Chiefs’ and the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl runs. He has over 11,000 rushing yards to his name over the course of his career. 

LeSean McCoy has six 1,000 yard seasons on his C.V. However, he’s not ready to wind down just yet as he wants to join a playoff contending team.

“I’ve had some talks to my agent Drew Rosenahaus. I was contemplating retirement. I’ve had some teams reach out. I think right now it’s just all about being in shape, being ready for the call and also the right road, the right fit,” McCoy said.

“I want to go to a team where I can compete, I want to go to a team where I can contribute. And make a playoff, hopefully championship run. That’s the biggest thing, I think from winning two championships it’s hard to go to a team where you don’t see anything happening. That’s something that I think about winding my career down and I’m about to finish out. I want to go somewhere so I can have some fun and win.”

McCoy’s rushing output has dropped significantly since 2018. Nowadays, he’s marketing himself as a veteran presence for an ambitious locker room.

“Now I’m a little older, so I’m a lot smarter. And I know how to teach the, they might have a young kid that’s an upcoming star where I can teach them how to be a pro. How to be the best. How to be a guy to be a franchise running back. And also a leader.
