Devonta Freeman, Carlos Hyde, LeSean McCoy in the mix
The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to add a veteran running back in the near future and have narrowed their focus to three players, according to sources: Devonta Freeman, Carlos Hyde and LeSean McCoy. The Eagles are bullish on second-year back Miles Sanders, believing he has the makings of a Pro Bowl-caliber player, and envision a role for Boston Scott that is at least similar to last season’s, but want to add depth and talent.

Nerdy Football Analysis: This is going to take some shine off the Miles Sanders hype that’s been percolating in FF circles this off-season. Assuming one of these veteran’s signed, Sanders is looking more like a mid-range RB2 candidate than a low-end RB1. Freeman is also on the Seahawks radar with a reported one-year $4 million offer on the table.
