Eagles’ Chris Long doesn’t seem as optimistic about returning as he once did

Will the Philadelphia Eagles get their veteran defensive end, Chris Long, back? At first, it seemed like there was no way he would pack up and retire before his contract expires. But now it seems as though his chances of retiring are quite realistic. Long has one more season left on his contract, and the Eagles planned to turn some that salary money into a bonus for now in order to clear up cap space. Once he found out they were doing that though, Long decided he wouldn’t accept the money for now until he knows his final decision to play or not in 2019.
