Darren Sproles originally played to make a retirement decision in May, but the Philadelphia Eagles running back may have other plans to return in 2019. ESPN's Adam Schefter was on 97.5 The Fanatic Wednesday, revealing Sproles is considering pushing off retirement in hopes of playing a 15th NFL season.

Will the Philadelphia Eagles be interested? Sproles would consider them if they would make a call, along with other teams he's played for turning his 14-year career.

"I think he wants to play," Schefter said. "I think it's the kind of thing (where) he's out in California and I think he'd like to go back and play for one of the teams he's played for in the past, whether that's the Eagles, the New Orleans Saints, or the Los Angeles Chargers. He wants to be in a competitive, winning situation.

"He's not in a rush, he's done this enough to know exactly what he needs to do to be ready. I think at the appropriate time when a team comes calling, he will certainly be willing to listen to what they have to say. Right now, it's not like 'well I got to be at OTAs in Philadelphia or OTAs in New Orleans,' that's not what he wants to do. What i think he wants to do is sit back, wait and see if anybody wants him and if someone whats him at the appropriate time, I think he'll be enticed to wind up playing."

Sproles has mentioned to Eagles teammates and staff he seriously could want another year in NFL before the end of the 2018 season and is going to consider all his options.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson isn't going to rush Sproles back, knowing there's a spot for him on the Eagles roster if he wants it.

"This is Darren's decision," Pederson said at the NFL Coaches Breakfast in March. "I can't speak for Howie (Roseman) or any of the other guys in the building, but we'd love to have him. This is their time. I get it, I was there once. We'll respect his decision when it comes."

Sproles played an instrumental role in the Eagles' offensive resurgence in the final five games of the regular season, having 24 carries for 110 yards (4.6 yards per carry) and 11 catches for 138 yards (12.5 yards per catch) in the five games since his return.

The Eagles were 4-1 in the five games Sproles has played in, with Sproles averaging 7.1 yards per touch. Sproles has ignited a spark in the Eagles offense, which averaged 27.4 points per game since his return in Week 13.

Sproles is the oldest player ever to have over 100 yards from scrimmage in Eagles franchise history. He is sixth all-time in all-purpose yards with 19,520 yards....just 162 yards behind former Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown for fifth (19,682).

In 14 seasons, Sproles has 8,302 yards from scrimmage (3,486 rushing, 4,816 receiving) and 55 touchdowns. He also has 2,875 punt return yards and 8,352 kick return yards and nine total touchdowns.

If Sproles returns, the Eagles would have filled a void at punt returner along with an extra receiver in the running back rotation. Sproles would certainly be welcomed back to the Eagles and would be even better in a reduced role.
