LeSean "Shady" McCoy to be Traded to the Bills

[Militant X 1]

Wow!

 

According to Adam Shefter ESPN NFL insider, McCoy is to be traded to the Bills for LB Kiko Alonso who played for Chip Kelley in college.  Wow!  I've often said that when a person gets traded to Buffalo that is the end of their careers.  Nice knowing you Shady.

Chip Kelly: mad genius or insane duck?

Make this the op

It's going to be a Oregon reunion in Philly. Next up, Trade up for Mariota

[JO_75]

If there is no draft picks involved, Buffalo is getting a steal. Guess this means C.J. Spiller isn't coming back to Buffalo. Wonder if Rex is going to go with a ground and pound attack with McCoy and Jackson to compensate for no QB.

I don't think his career is over.  Look at what the bills did during the season they played pretty good.  That was without Shady, I am excited on what they he is going to do for them

[Ravenatic20]

Were there off-field issues with McCoy in Philly, ala DeSean Jackson part II?

[JO_75]

Hmm.... makes you wonder who they are trying to go after in FA.

By cutting Trent Cole, Cary Williams & trading LeSean McCoy, Eagles cleared $31.75M in cap space today. Alonso will count >$1M against cap

[Gordo52]

They are clearing some serious dough.... One could guess Suh, but I seriously doubt it.

McCourty, J Thomas, Cobb ? .... I'd love to see how Chip would use Thomas.

Nick Foles probably nervous as heck.

[redlobster]

Don't forget maclin is a free agent as well.

Mccourty would be a good guess as the eagles need to replace Nate Allen.

@RosenhausSports: I just spoke with the Eagles organization and there is no trade for LeSean at this time. There have been discussions but nothing finalized

Well duh Rosenhaus, nothing can't be finalized until next Tuesday. The trade has probably been agreed upon in principle with it becoming finalized when the new league year begins.

Maybe Kelly is about to trade for Haloti Ngata? 

[PurpleCity5]

Kiko is a 4-3 LB at heart so I wonder how they'll use him, in a 3-4 system he may not be a 3 down OLB.

If they want to send us Ertz and Boykin, I'm down.

Hell yeah. I'd be happy with Boykin.

I don't think Kiko will have a problem in the NFL in the 3-4. I actually think he'll be just fine.

It will make him the 9th player on the Eagles team who played under Chip Kelly at Oregon. Mariota will be the 10th Oregon Duck on the Eagles come Draft Night.

So you guys think this makes Buffalo a LEGIT AFC Wild Card Contender now?

If they can get someone that can actually throw the ball, maybe.

Don't miss understand me.  Shady is a beast of a back!  It has been my personal opinion that once a player happens to get traded to "that" organization...the Buffalo Bills; for some odd reason that organization has a way of being a death trap to the remaining of their careers....they don't produce as much.  I instantly think of players like T.O., Vince Young, Mario Williams (had a decent year), Corey Graham for examples.  Just a personal observation nothing serious.

Well, Corey Graham had a terrific year and Jerry Hughes revived his career and turned from a bust to a beast. Lol. 

[JO_75]

Have to wonder once they get Mariota on Draft Night if Kelly is secretly working on moving the Eagles to Oregon one day lol.

I wouldn't say terrific but as I mentioned earlier; it is just my observation nothing serious brah!

[Mt. Crushmore]

Source said Eagles were calling around to see if they could get anything for McCoy before they cut him. Then said took only 20 minutes for the Bills to say yes.

Oh no, no worries at all. I think he played terrific, but hey, we all got different opinions my man. Nothing wrong with that! I agree on the rest, though. Not many people have had success going to BUF. Williams only just started to do well.

[jdynamite]

When I woke up from a long nap. And saw this on Schefter's Facebook. I thought it was a joke honestly.

Here we have Kiko Alonso whom on the surface he had an excellent Rookie year statistically speaking it couldn't get any better it was almost identical to then DPOY Kuechly's stats.

- but that was behind one of the best defensive fronts in football Mario W., Kyle W, Dareus, and Hughes so he got to roam freely behind that.

- he's come off an ACL injury so he hasnt shown he can comeback and play to level again yet not.

I know the NFL and ESPN do everything they can to make Rbs seem expendable but McCoy is only 2 years older than Alonso, he doesnt take the big hits like most RBs.

To me a trade involving McCoy should have gotten then Eagles closer to drafting Mariota.
