Giants win.

 

[Colasante]

When was the last time a team regretted trading away an overpriced running back? McCoy's best season came in Kelly's scheme behind the best and healthiest offensive line in the league. I think it's much more likely another Eagles back will come in and replicate his success than McCoy is likely to replicate his past success in Buffalo, behind a bad offensive line, with no quarterback.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol chip been drinking that Hinkie kool aid

 

[njean777]

Why in the fuck are the Eagles doing this? What in the fuck

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Man that is a nice deal for Buffalo...well depends on how much McCoy has left in the tank.

 

[JABEE]

RB is a devalued position, but I love McCoy though.

 

[CB3]

This will be an interesting off season for the eagles, atleast. This is alot of turnover and free agency hasnt even started. I think my feelings about this trade will be largely determined by what we do with all this cap space we are collecting.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Mariota and Chip will turn that dude that was working at Applebee's last week into an All-Pro.

/eaglesgaf

At least my boy Chris Polk will be getting lots of carries now!

So LeSean McCoy is going to be a Buffalo Bill. And Kiko Alonso will be reunited with former Oregon HC Chip Kelly.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

To fully appreciate this deal for the Eagles side, I need to see exactly which skill guys they bring in through FA and the draft, because the cupboard is looking rather bare at the moment.

But Kiko is very good and very cheap, if he's right coming off of that ACL tear (and Thomas Davis has shown that you can still be an elite backer with a history of ACL injuries), he's a huge upgrade on their defense.

 

[JABEE]

Alonso is a damn good player when healthy

 

[jbug617]

I expect David Harris to the Bills to heat up now. Maybe Rex knows that he is coming

 

[jmdajr]

Eagles did what?

 

[Brinbe]

I love Shady but I don't mind this... Harder to find quality LBs like Alonzo than RBs these days (ASSUMING KIKO IS HEALTHY). Kendricks/Alonzo/Barwin suddenly gives us a great trio at the position, maybe we draft Kendricks' brother too to replace Ryans.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Does Chip Like anyone on the Eagles?

 

[WesternHeretic]

I like the trade for the Eagles if Kinko is 100% healthy.

 

[BlackGhost]

I can only imagine how pissed lesean is.
Tehe

 

[eznark]

Bills got fleeced

 

[njean777]

I really am questioning this deal. I got his jersey last year

 

[slightconfuse]

Does Chip Like anyone on the Eagles?

He only likes Oregon guys

 

[sf2fanatic]

That RB depth in Buffalo just got better. CJ, FredJax, Shady? May as well resign Orton

 

[RellyRell28]

I have a Suh jersey I know how you feel.

 

[Tom Penny]

Easy decision for the Eagles. They might just outbid everyone on Vereen. Save all that money and get a younger player or Murray for that matter.

 

[gutshot]

The Eagles are like a billion dollars under the salary cap, if my math is correct.

Last I checked, we can't use that to trade for draft picks though.

 

[Trey]

Bills must have not liked Kiko's progress coming back from his injury. McCoy doesn't add a whole bunch to the offense, which has a really bad offensive line anyway.

Means spiller is as good as gone.

 

[JABEE]

Bills got fleeced

GM Chip vs Rex Ryan

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora
Can confirm ESPN report Eagles have traded Shady McCoy for Kiko Alonso. One for one trade I'm told. Alonso had wanted out of Buffalo. Wow

.

 

[jbug617]

CJ a free agent

 

[darkside31337]

That RN depth in Buffalo just got better. CJ, FredJax, Shady? May as well resign Orton

Spiller is already gone. FJax might be heading out the door too.

Eagles should just sign Spiller to stick it to them. Getting out of Buffalo will be the best possible thing for him.

Also wow at Alonso wanting out of Buffalo. Guess he really didn't like Rex.

 

[Striker]

But it's McCoy for $12 million on the cap versus Alonso for $1.1 million on the cap.

McCoy is proven talent. Alonso had one good year and been injured the rest.

The rest is up to how Chip replaces him and adds more talent on offense. And hope Alonso can stay healthy. He had injury problems in college too.

 

[JABEE]

Alonso wanted out of Buffalo. I'm really happy if the Eagles got a franchise LB.

 

[Nemesis121]

Shady got traded for a LB coming off an ACL tear....wow

 

[WesternHeretic]

I have a Suh jersey I know how you feel.

This is probably the worst post you have ever made. WHY RELL WHY!

 

[Brinbe]

Seriously, thinking on it, RB isn't exactly a weakspot of the Bills. Wonder why they did this, especially when LeSean's already how old and is pretty pricey too.

Holy crap, if we do end up with Spiller, I'd say we came out ahead. He'd be crazy good in Chip's offense. Polk/Sproles aren't too shabby anyway.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

NFL THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!!!!

 

[eznark]

Shady got traded for a LB coming off an ACL tear....wow

$12m at an easily replaceable position is retarded. Also known as "Full Bills"

 

[JaMarco]

Like that deal for Phily, you can find a good RB anywhere.

 

[njean777]

So who is the rb for the Eagles now? Sproles? Isn't he a bit old?

 

[sf2fanatic]

They should resign either Spiller or FJax for that backup. If Spioles didn't get hurt he was decent at backup for Shady. Big time adjustment for Shady from fast pace offense to a slow pounding game

 

[ChanDangle]

I'm speechless.

 

[Enron]

LeSean is only 26.

 

[jakncoke]

Does this mean the end of Fred Jackson in Buffalo.

Im sure he'd come back for vet min

 

[JABEE]

The Eagles should be able to find a good RB

 

[zychi]

Fuck McCoy, dude was a huge fantasy bust.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Like that deal for Phily, you can find a good RB anywhere.

Yep... You saw what Justin Forsett did last year and the guy been pretty much 2nd string bench RB for most of his career.

Any RB can look good with a good OL unless his name is Trent Truck...

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Bills still aint got no QB

 

[Tom Penny]

$12m at an easily replaceable position is retarded. Also known as "Full Bills"

Just the 10m in cap space is a win. People don't think Kiko then whatever other players they get with that money don't have more value then a RB on his downside lol

 

[Colasante]

LeSean is only 26.

That's like 40 in running back years, when you can keep drafting cheap and productive players, even in late rounds.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Fuck McCoy, dude was a huge fantasy bust.

Foles getting hurt ruined his fantasy stats. No one was scared of Sanchito

 

[cdyhybrid]

So who is the rb for the Eagles now? Sproles? Isn't he a bit old?
