Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy spent his best years with the Philadelphia Eagles (2009 to 2014) and Buffalo Bills (2015 to 2018). Though he was well past his prime, McCoy had the luxury of winning back-to-back Super Bowls to close out his career — with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Speaking on FS1’s “Speak with Joy Taylor, James Jones and Emmanuel Acho, McCoy admitted that being traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2015 will forever haunt him. Not only that, but McCoy would have given up his two championship rings if it meant winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles.
“I shouldn’t say it, but I would trade all that stuff I done did to give it back…to just be with the Eagles and get that one championship. Just because of like, and then if my career would have went how I know it would have went…I probably wouldn’t have did TV…probably be somewhere in the office studying (Eagles GM) Howie (Roseman) to be the next GM.”
As the two-time Super Bowl champion pointed out, he needed just six seasons to become the Eagles’ all-time rushing leader (6,792). Wilbert Montgomery, second all-time on the franchise rushing list (6,538), played eight years in Philadelphia.
In the 2015 offseason, the Eagles traded McCoy to the Bills in exchange for star linebacker Kiko Alonso. Hindsight is 20/20, but the blockbuster move worked out nicely for all parties.
McCoy finished with 11,102 career rushing yards and 73 touchdowns. He led the NFL in rushing during the 213 season (1,607 yards) and was named to six Pro Bowls and the 2010s All-Decade Team.
LeSean McCoy Can’t Complain About Two Super Bowl Rings
McCoy continued his stardom in Buffalo before eventually claiming back-to-back Super Bowls to close out his career. His efforts also helped the Bills end an 18-year postseason drought in 2017. Three years after the bold move to trade McCoy, the Eagles went on to win Super Bowl 52 over the New England Patriots.
Understandably, McCoy wanted to win it all with his hometown team, but two Super Bowl championships will always be better than one. Pure and simple.
