It doesn’t appear that the prospect of a LeSean McCoy reunion with the Philadelphia Eagles is one that fans or the Philly media are interested in.

It’s hard to say the Buffalo Bills decision to release LeSean McCoy falls under the category of shocking or unexpected. With the way Devin Singletary has shined in the preseason (he looks like he’s in a midseason form) and with the amount of money McCoy was due in 2019, it’s safe to say Buffalo had a lot of reasons to feel that they were making the right decision. The immediate response, if you follow the Philadelphia Eagles, is could a reunion be in play?

Don’t lie. Even if you talked yourself out of it three seconds later, you know you thought about it. That’s okay. Ever since a former Eagles coach who shall remain nameless traded Philly’s star running back for Kiko Alonso (who will also be released), quite a few Eagles fans have dreamt of a reunion.

Time changes things sometimes, and now, McCoy is 31 years old. He isn’t the same guy that racked up 6,792 yards and 44 touchdowns in an Eagles jersey and depending on who you ask, he may have even been the third-best running back on the Bills roster. Some would even say that ranking him at third on their depth chart would be generous.

Since his dismissal, there’s been conversation sparked by both stories and social media. Mike Florio of NBC Sports seemed to be taken aback by the fact that Buffalo reportedly didn’t offer him the option to take a pay cut. Eliot Schorr-Parks, the Eagles reporter for Philly’s 94 WIP-FM, states that he doesn’t see a fit with the Eagles current backfield makeup.

Next. The only one issue with the Eagles not adding Clowney. dark

We at ITI ran a quick poll, and after about 100 votes had been tallied, it was clear to see where this one was headed. The same fans who were once thrilled over the possibility of ‘Shady’ returning seem to have turned the page. Most of everyone and, seemingly, the Eagles themselves are fine with the idea of heading into the regular season with Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders, Corey Clement, and Darren Sproles.

Close the book on this one. Any rumors of an Eagles and McCoy reunion can be silenced quickly
