Eagles running back Darren Sproles has yet to decide on his football future. However, he says that he is leaning towards playing in 2018 (Twitter link via Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer). 
Sproles is still recovering from his knee injury, but he indicated that he wanted to leave the game on a higher note. “I can’t end like this,” Sproles said.
The diminutive runner had high hopes for this season, but he was forced out in Week 3 when he simultaneously suffered a broken forearm and a torn ACL. Sproles will turn 35 this summer, but his three consecutive Pro Bowl nods prior to this year indicate that he still has some football left in him. In 2016, he set a new personal watermark with 94 carries while also catching 52 passes. The 865 yards from scrimmage were the third-highest total of his career.
If Sproles does decide to return, it may or may not be with the Eagles. His contract expires at the end of this year, meaning that he’ll be eligible for free agency in March.
You find a way to bring this guy back and let him end his career with the Eagles, period.
You’ll change your tune when we are deciding to cut another player to bring him back for sentimental reasons. Bottom line, we have other pressing needs.
Make it happen Howie, I don’t give a s**t about our limited cap space!
Retire with dignity, walk away or hobble away like Leonard Weaver.
Love to see him backFLYEAGLESFLY
