Former Pitt running back LeSean McCoy announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday morning, ending any speculation about a return by revealing that he will sign a one-day contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and bring his career to a close.
“After 12 years in the NFL, I’ve decided to retire an Eagle because this is home to me,” McCoy said in a statement. “I’m retiring because I’m at peace mentally. The only regret I’ve ever had was not spending my entire career as an Eagle.”
“I look at guys like Jason Kelce and Larry Fitzgerald, lifelong friends of mine, who spent their whole career with one team,” he added.
