While the Eagles had a disappointing season last year finishing 8-8, LeSean McCoy was fantastic. Extending him for 5 years $45 million was absolutely worth it. He provided another dynamic for Michael Vick and the Eagles' offense. Finishing 4th in the league with 1,309 yards and tops in the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns, McCoy was the best player on offense hands down. More importantly, he has produced and will continue to do so in the future.
He is a great runner, as well as a great pass catcher. He had 48 receptions for 315 yards last season, which for a running back is terrific. He only turned over the ball once last year with one fumble lost. The guy is a stud running back. He's one of the top-five backs in the league and shows no signs of slowing down. At 23 years old, this was a deal the Eagles had to get done.
If Michael Vick has another average season, the Eagles are going to have to heavily rely on McCoy again. In an age of depreciating running back value, the Eagles have to be commended for making the right decision here.
