LeSean McCoy plans to retire as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, the veteran running back told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer at Super Bowl Opening Night.

McCoy, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, will be a free agent following Super Bowl LIV, but the 31-year-old isn't planning to retire immediately.

"I can still play, so I'm not going to retire yet, but that day is coming," McCoy told Kevin Patra of NFL.com.

McCoy spent the first six seasons of his career with the Eagles before Chip Kelly and Co. traded him to Buffalo Bills, with whom he played the next four campaigns. He accepted a reduced role with Kansas City in 2019 after joining the team on the heels of his release from the Bills.

The 2009 second-round pick didn't receive a carry in either of the Chiefs' first two postseason contests, sitting out the AFC Championship Game as an inactive. McCoy ranked second in regular-season rushing for Kansas City, scampering for 465 yards and four touchdowns.

A six-time Pro Bowler, McCoy eclipsed 1,000 yards on the ground four times with Philadelphia. He won the NFL rushing title in 2013 after amassing over 1,600 yards.
