Jim Schwartz intends to allow his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles to expire after Sunday's finale against Washington and take a year off from coaching.

Schwartz was previously approached by the Eagles about an extension.

Schwartz has dealt with multiple recent hip and eye surgeries. 

Schwartz previously spent five seasons as the Lions' head coach from 2009-2013, compiling a 29-51 record with a playoff trip in 2011.
