PHILADELPHIA – LeSean McCoy's body tells him one thing. His contract may be saying something else.

There has been a lot of speculation that McCoy’s future with the Philadelphia Eagles could be in doubt because of his contract. McCoy is due to make $9.75 million in 2015, with a salary cap hit of $11.95 million. His cap number drops by $3 million in 2016.

In a conversation with Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, broadcast on NBC Sports Radio, McCoy said he didn’t expect the contract to spur the Eagles to release him.

“I don’t feel like that,” McCoy told Florio. “I really don’t. The type of player that I am, the teammate, how I feel about my franchise and what I mean to them -- I’ve got a great relationship with my coaches and teammates. That’s not in my mindset that it would happen to me. But it’s a business. Anything can happen.”

The Eagles and McCoy could restructure the deal to lower the cap charge. But if there is reason to release a 26-year-old running back, that means it’s a poorly conceived contract. And the Eagles were half responsible for that.

McCoy won’t turn 27 until July. He led the NFL in rushing in 2013. His numbers were down in 2014, but that was largely due to injuries along the Eagles’ offensive line. McCoy still finished third in the NFL with 1,319 rushing yards.

“When the standards are really high,” McCoy said, “when you set the mark at a certain level, I can understand (the perception that he had a down year). I like it like that. Next year, when I do it again, they’ll be back on me.”

McCoy said he had a “little knee injury” from the season finale against the Giants. It kept him from the Pro Bowl but is not bothering him now, he said.

Florio asked how many more seasons McCoy has in him.

“I think I’ve got a good four dominant years like I’ve been playing, production-wise,” McCoy said. “But we’ll see.”

McCoy’s contract runs through 2017. It pays him $6.9 million in 2016 and $7.6 million in 2017.
