Former Eagles RB is set to sign with cross state rival

Former Eagles running back and known New York Giants killer Boston Scott has bounced around the league a bit since his departure from Philadelphia this offseason.

He had a brief stint with the Los Angeles Rams, appearing in their preseason games. But after final cut down day on Tuesday, he was released by LA, only to find his way back to Pennsylvania with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It was always going to be weird seeing Boston Scott in different colors this season. Seeing him suit up for Pittsburgh feels extra strange just because of the little in-state rivalry the Eagles have with them.

The Eagles and Steelers are set to face each other this season as well, right here in Philly. Honestly, wouldn’t be shocked if Scott isn’t with Pittsburgh anymore at that point in the season. If get does eventually get moved, I wouldn’t mind bringing him home — or at least for the two Giants games.
