McCoy and the Eagles have agreed on a five-year, $45 million ($20.765 million guaranteed) contract extension, the Eagles' official Twitter account reports.
Recommendation: It should come as no surprise that the Eagles are buying into McCoy, who will just be 24 at the start of the coming season and rushed for 1,309 yards (4.79 per carry) and caught 48 balls out of the backfield for 315 more last season. He'll be one of the top few backs off the board next season and dynasty players shouldn't be afraid to commit to the McCoy just as the Eagles did -- he's in the prime of his career right now.
