I was exaggerating a bit, but you really don't think they could have gotten something better for McCoy? The guy is 26, in his prime and is a premiere player in the league. An MVP candidate two seasons ago. Sure he is making a decent penny, but isn't it worth it? It's not like the Eagles are designating that money elsewhere.
The Jets would have 100% gave their 6th round pick for Foles and McCoy. They got fucking Sam Bradford and a decent defensive guy. They got played.
I'm not sure i would want the Jets 6th round pick. The team isn't bad, and can certainly compete. I'm not positive on the cap status which is the huge negative here. If they have enough room to sign a decent defensive player, they aren't looking bad in that division.
I don't think it's a great deal either to be honest. It's just not a franchise breaking one.
