The Philadelphia Eagles are interested in bringing back LeSean McCoy, but how much would the Eagles have to give the Buffalo Bills in order to get him? NFL Insider John Clayton told SportsRadio 94 WIP the Eagles would likely have to give the Bills a fifth-round pick to land McCoy. If the Bills wanted more than a fifth, they would have to give the Eagles a draft pick back for McCoy (Clayton mentioned the Eagles would get a fifth-round pick back for McCoy and a fourth round pick).

Per Josh Reed of WIVB in Buffalo, the Eagles are talking to the Bills about a possible McCoy return, which can be accomplished with the draft compensation not being high. The Eagles have a fourth-round pick for 2019 and are projected to have two fifth-round picks for 2019 (their own and a compensatory).

Eagles Executive Vice President of Football Operations Howie Roseman rebuilt the Eagles roster into a Super Bowl contender over the last two years, but wanted the finishing touch centered around McCoy last season. The Eagles couldn't land McCoy and settled for Jay Ajayi.

Roseman never wanted McCoy traded from Philadelphia in the first place, but that deal was made by Chip Kelly...who had total autonomy of the team's personnel decisions in 2015 while Roseman was kicked to the back room of the NovaCare Complex.

McCoy showed signs he still can produce in the NFL with 24 carries for 85 yards in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans, but his days could be numbered in Buffalo as the Bills appear to be rebuilding. With McCoy's slow start and two more years owed on his contract, the Eagles could bring him back without giving up much draft compensation (a lower-round pick in next year's draft).

McCoy is owed $4.28 million for the remainder of this season and $9.05 million in 2019, which is the final year of his contract. The Eagles could even release McCoy and save $2.625 million after the season or restructure his deal. If the Eagles can't land Johnson or Bell (which the Eagles are reportedly out of trying to acquire), a reunion with McCoy is possible.

Essentially, McCoy would only cost the Eagles $4.28 million in cap space. The Eagles restructured Fletcher Cox's deal over the weekend and had $4,028,263 in cap space prior to the Cox restructure, per the NFL Players Association. They would have an estimated $10.5 million in available cap space with the restructure for 2018 and are projected to be just over $7.8 million in cap space for the 2019 offseason thus far.

McCoy has not looked like the running back he was the first nine seasons of his career, having 45 carries for 170 yards (3.8 yards per carry) and 10 catches for 64 yards with the Buffalo Bills. Of course, the Bills have one of the worst quarterback situations in the NFL as teams are stacking the box to pressure Josh Allen and contain McCoy.

The Eagles offensive line has struggled in pass protection, but they are still one of the best in the league in run block. McCoy is also a very good back in pass protection and creates space as a receiver out of the backfield. With the Eagles current running back situation, McCoy would be an upgrade.

If all it takes for the Eagles is a fifth-round pick, McCoy could very well be coming back to Philadelphia.
