TITTLE: New York giants request.
According to ESPN, Boston Scott, a former running back for the Philadelphia Eagles who is well-known for controlling the New York Giants, and the Los Angeles Rams finalized a one-year contract agreement on Tuesday.
As of right moment, the agreement’s specifics remain unknown.
Following the news, Scott praised Howie Roseman, general manager of the Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, and others on social media.
“Thank you to Mr. Lurie, Howie Houdini, the front desk staff, all of the employees, the coaches, and most importantly, my teammates who genuinely had faith in me. I’m still writing the story I’ve always wanted to write, and you’re a part of it now. Thank you very much,” Scott wrote in part.
Scott spent the past six seasons in Philly and played in 75 regular season games for the Birds as the team’s backup running back and occasionally returned punts and kicks.
Scott scored 20 total touchdowns in his six seasons in Philly, including the playoffs, and 11 of those came against the Giants — the team he killed year after year.
Scott’s breakout game against the Giants happened during the 2019 season in a 34-17 win in late December as he scored three touchdowns to help the Eagles make the playoffs. After that game, the legend was born. That game was in the Doug Pederson era of Eagles football and it didn’t stop once Nick Sirianni took over as head coach. /cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/71891311/usa_today_13774212.0.jpg)
The nine rushing touchdowns scored by Scott against the Giants in the regular season ranks tied for fifth all-time with Jim Brown, per StatMuse. Former Dallas Cowboys running back and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith ranks first all-time with 21 rushing scores against the Giants.
In 75 regular season games, Scott rushed for 1,295 yards and hauled in 71 catches for 566 yards.
Scott joined the Eagles in the 2018 season after he was waived by the New Orleans Saints. He was drafted by New Orleans out of Louisiana Tech University in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft.
If Scott makes the Rams’ roster, he’ll have the chance to play against his former team in the 2024 season. The NFL is set to release the 2024 regular season schedule in May.
The Eagles addressed the running back position this offseason by signing former Giants running Saquon Barkley and drafting former Clemson University running back Will Shipley in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL draft.
