Here’s an interesting curve ball for the New Orleans Saints offseason: a potential second sprint with former running back Darren Sproles. Sproles said he would retire following the 2018 season as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, but he may not be ready to hang his cleats up just yet.
Per a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, who shared his insight during an appearance on Philadelphia-area radio 97.5 The Fanatic Morning Show with hosts Marc Farzetta, Tra Thomas, and Bob Cooney, Sproles may feel like he can still play at a high level. And if the diminutive runner does come back for one more season at age 35 (he’ll turn 36 in June), he’d like to do it in a familiar locker room.
