Eagles RB Darren Sproles recently announced in a blog post he plans to play just “one more year.”
“I’m excited to come back and I am even more excited to come back to the defending Super Bowl champion, Eagles,” Sproles wrote. “We have something special here with the team, the fans, and the city. We made history bringing the first Lombardi trophy to Philly and now we want to go back-to-back.”
“I love this game. I love what I do,” Sproles added. “When my daughter Devyn looked me in the eye and told me I have to play one more year — well, that was it.”
There was talk that Sproles may retire this offseason, but he ultimately elected to re-sign with the Eagles.
Sproles, 25, is a former fourth-round pick of the Chargers back in 2005. He spent five years in San Diego before signing on with the Saints in 2011. New Orleans later traded him to the Eagles for the 2014 season.
Sproles played out the final year of his two-year, $8 million contract before signing a one-year, $1.415 million contract with the Eagles this past April.
In 2017, Sproles had appeared in three games and rushed for 61 yards on 15 carries (4.1 YPC) to go along with seven receptions for 73 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
