The Philadelphia Eagles have a running back problem, and it, unfortunately, won't be solved by a familiar face.
Following Jay Ajayi's season-ending ACL tear, the Eagles are reportedly in the market for a new star running back. One of their targets happened to be a man who is no stranger to Philadelphia, LeSean McCoy.
Despite their plans for a reunion, the Bills are unlikely to ship their star back away to Philly.

This couldn't be more cut and dry. The Bills would likely ask for something in the range of a second-round draft pick which the Eagles don't want to do. Buffalo flat-out doesn't want to trade McCoy despite a slow start to the season.
The price will be high, the #Eagles rarely mortgage the future… and simply, the #Bills want to keep McCoy. https://t.co/FIGomjHKgQ

Buffalo could shop him and look towards the future, but he's a well-liked veteran leader in the locker room and is under contract through 2019, not to mention he's the only real playmaker on the lowly Bills offense.
Philadelphia is going to have to look elsewhere for a solution to their running back woes.
