This made me feel a little better tonight
Sproles had only a tiny amount of attempts this past year, so it would be cool to see him split the carries with Polk. Sproles and Polk aren't McCoy, but they can get work done at least.

Kas doesn't really watch football, he plays Madden on All-Rookie and has the Lions win the SB every year.

LAGAF, which stadium would you prefer. Inglewood or Carson?
Personally I would want carson.

2x as many chances to see the pats
Actually I didn't. Just saw headlines saying he didn't want to be on the Bills after the trade for LeSean MCCoy so I thought he was requesting a trade himself.
Not sure what he's asking for but after we resign Suh I think we can work something out.

Let's do it! I already got a girl in mind
I like the purposed Inglewood one better but I think would also like twice as many chances to see the dolphins.
I'm managing my pain as described. The pain has gotten worse today but it's been made easier by the fact I'm about to have Naan and curry for the first time cooked by this awesome girl.
This is literally what I'm dealing with on my right foot.

I wouldn't wish MRSA on my worst enemy.

You should go to the emergency room man.
I already did. I've been given antibiotics and some Vicodins. It's a red rash and the pain is so bad I can barely put weight on it. A couple of days ago I couldn't put any weight at all.
I was convinced it was a broken bone but it's actually an infection. It's bullshit dude. If the rash gets any bigger I'm going to have to go back and I can't drive, work or do anything. I'm trying to stay on a Stafford workout routine and my body in shape.
lmao how the fuck do you get MRSA? I'm surrounded by MRSA and don't have an active MRSA infection.
Knowing kas and his pathetic hygiene, he's probably going to contract C-DIFF from all the various antibiotics he has to take to treat the MRSA if he really has an active MRSA infection (Which he doesn't know because his shitty doctor probably didn't get blood cultures)

Restructuring Megatron would be stupid, and put us in a similar position that we find ourselves in with Suh. A restructure would result in Megatron having a 20mil+ cap hit in a year or two. No thanks. Trade him or let Suh walk. We can't keep both. I want to keep Suh but since we probably can't get rid of Megatron right now....I'd let Suh walk and sign some FAs.
Upon further review I think the Eagles won the trade. With the cap hit that McCoy has couldn't the Eagles sign Murray for the same money with gaining kiko? Or at the very least sign Spiller, FJax, Vareen, or Ingram all significantly cheaper.
Would love it if the Bears were the one who made this trade.

And we got a good Linebacker. I'm fine with the deal.

This is why I can see them trading out of the 9th spot to get more picks, hopefully we can rob the Eagles blind if they want Mariota...

Hahaha. I just had the craziest nightmare that the Bills traded away the potential best new linebacker the league has seen in a while for a washed up old running back with maybe 2 semi-productive years left, while absorbing a giant hit to their salary cap, possibly crippling them when it comes time to resigning the rest of their defense.
Lol. What a stupid motherfucking dream. As if any real life GM/coach would do something so goddamn stupid. lol

God, I hope so. I probably won't get over this mccoy thing until playoffs.

I just came back from Dutch's homeland. Nice place. Less windmills than I was lead to be believe.
Also, eat a furball, Kave.
Kiko is straight up a future HoF. Trading for a old running back in 2015 when you have no fucking QB is embarrassing. If they really felt Kiko was broke (he's not) then they should have kept him to bargain for a servicable QB. Running backs that aren't clearly elite are worth far, far less than a defensive player with a mind and abilities of Alonso. McCoy will be out of the league in 3 years, Kiko won't be unless he's picked up Chad Pennington/Bob Sanders syndrome.

Eh. I'm happy with the trade. I thought initially they'd work to renegotiate McCoy but this is fine with me. The Pats have clearly shown that RB by commission is perfectly feasible and effective. Sproles was the more explosive game changer last year and I think will do well in his limited capacity again in the coming year. Vereen is who we should go after and along with Polk I would be perfectly satisfied with our run game.

So, you're saying you're happy trading a solid beater with a cd player for a monster truck that shoots flames and also has a margarita machine in place of the cigarette lighter? NO WAI

Any Eagles fan who complains about this trade is straight unfamiliar with the game of football as it exists today. Y'all got basically the best trade since...uh, when has the last time a good player was traded for a potential top player in his position? And that top player was still on his rookie contract?
Goddamn Chip Kelly is playing chess and Rex Ryan is playing footsie.

Rex has personnel authority? Didn't know that.

This is what bugs me. Want to move DeSean and LeSean ok fine. Too much money tied up in those two but at least recognize what they were worth to you. How much teams feared them and how much of what made 2013's offense explosive and dangerous was due to these two players. And you are willing to just cut them? Like some scrubs? Are you kidding me Chip?
They torpedoed their chances with DeSean when they put all the word he will be cut if they can't trade him. They were about to cut McCoy. All in all we traded two of the weapons in the game for a young LB who might be great but is coming off of his 2nd ACL tear.
In both cases they could have gotten more back. I feel like a straight up trade isn't enough. I do see the value in the cap space they opened up. Re-signing Maclin just became automatic. Maybe the 10M space can be used to sign two 5m a year vets.
Just feel like a draft pick (3rd round even) should have been included.
And def agree all this BS about McCoy being over the hill, old, and busted is just stupidity. He doesn't run like Lynch. He is 26. He has at least 3 great seasons in him. 3 great seasons he could have had with Philly to make this offense great.
Now we have Foles, 1 good WR, 1 good TE, and a decent OLINE that is aging fast.
Maclin's contract negotiations just became easier with 50M available in cap space. Don't see how they don't make that deal work.
Dude tell me about it. Watch how now all this attitude shit is going to be brought. Maybe even gang ties. McCoy had issues with women off the field (baby mama drama) but in the locker room he was known as a hard worker and coach's pet. He stood up for Reid when he was being fired and even praised Chip all the time.
But yeah had the attitude problem. Known racist Cooper is on the team and getting paid like a #1 WR when he should be a #4 WR.
What makes you think the Eagles are making the playoffs? Foles was only propped up and played awesome when he had amazing skill players to lean on. Gone are DeSean and LeSean. Maclin is nice but he doesn't scare any defense.
If the QB remains Foles with all his limitations, forget the playoffs this year.

I loved how people were arguing against statistics. Yeah, mccoy has a year or two left. But alonso could make our lb's kind of scary. Barwin is loving this. He might have another career year.

Wait people are down on McCoy? He has at least three good years left. I think both teams will come out positive from this. It's not like the rest of the bills defense is a bunch of scrubs.

In my opinion the Eagles got the better end of the deal. That said, I love McCoy and I don't think it was a terrible trade for the Bills, especially if Kiko ends up having some lingering injury issues. The cap hit is the worst part for the Bills, I'd say.
It's a one year cap hit for them. After that McCoy should get more guaranteed and team will have friendly cap numbers if they do it right. Last 2 years of McCoy's deal has no guarantees.
Eagles clear about 10 million, but 3.4 of that number goes right back on their cap due to signing bonuses.
RB value is relative. If you have a decent QB, probably less valuable. If you don't a 300 carry back like McCoy is the centerpiece of the offense. If they get a decent guy in the next 3 years at QB, Bills will be a good team. Defense should be good at the least.
