The Eagles have been negotiating with McCoy's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, since the end of the season. General manager Howie Roseman and Rosenhaus met poolside to further discuss a potential deal this week at the Breakers Resort, a source close to the situation said. "These things take a little bit of time. That's how it works," Reid said. "But it'll work out." McCoy, who was voted to his first Pro Bowl last season after rushing for 1,309 yards and scoring 20 total touchdowns, has one year remaining on the four-year contract he signed after he was drafted in 2009. ... Worth noting: Reid agreed with a questioner who asked whether the Eagles had overused the 23-year-old a season ago. McCoy finished with 273 carries, 66 more than he had the previous year. He did have 30 fewer receptions, though. "As we go here, we need to spot him," Reid said. ... We'll obviously be watching for more on that.
