Kiko Alonso traded for Shady McCoy

[DCBoysfan]

I'm just glad McCoy is out of the division, even better he is out of the conference.

 

[superonyx]

I cut mccoy from my fantasy after the horrible season he had

I cut you from my fantasy fan team for putting yourself into the position where you routed for an Eagles running back to score touchdowns.

 

[windward]

So the Eagles go out and spend a ton in free agency. Who cares? They did the same thing back in 2011 and went 8-8. They still won't address QBS to the extent that it will matter too much this season.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Wow!

 

[Oh_Canada]

Holy crap. And it's not like they don't have a backup... they still have Darren Sproles. If they cash in on free agency and the draft that team is gonna be scary.

Yes yes, every year the Eagles are scary. I won't hold my breath.
Alonso is coming off a second acl and they still have no QB.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Who uh who is McCoy's backup again?

Polk

 

[manster4ever]

Getting money ready for Suh

Thats what I think too.. Get ready for it.....

 

[mldardy]

McCoy sucked last year and it wasn't all on the offensive line. I think Philthy got the better end of that deal,,, big time.

I'm going to go with no on this. The guy had over 1300 yards, 4.2 ypg. He didn't suck. I think most teams will take that kind of suck every year.

Nah,,, he's done. It's all downhill from here.

OK whatever.

OL Chip Kelley has made some pretty savy moves....first pulling off the Sproles trade then moved Deshawn Jackson out and now the McCoy trade...and a whole lot of cash to spend.. This team could get dangerous...quickly

Kelly is a nut job obsessed with his own former college players, I can't wait until he trades the world for Mariota. They are going to flop

 

[Broges74]

Murray would fit well there. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to move up if Mariota slips to 3.

He really is. I've never bought into his crap at Oregon and not buying it in the NFL. I also don't think Kelly is going to be in the NFL or Philly in a few years. Maybe even 1 more season. The guy almost left after this season. He doesn't seem like a coach who likes stability whether it's him or his players.

 

[StylisticS]

I'm listening online to WIP and the guy said this will help them more on trading for Mariotta.

How? You can't trade cap space.

 

[Risen Star]

I can see how this trade could work for the Eagles but it's certainly a risk.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Alonso's a stud, but hey...we've got Anthony Hitchens.

Just think they may have offered the boys cole, graham, and shady for hitchens!

 

[Risen Star]

Don't try to understand Philly logic.

I'd love for them to go after Murray, but they won't. If they wanted to over pay an older RB they'd have just kept McCoy.

I get your line of thinking here. I was ready to talk about them going after Murray but I'm late to the party and you're probably right. Still though, I would not rule it out. What an even more interesting match-up that would be if they did sign him. If you're Chip you have to think Demarco would have huge games against us, out of spite for not paying him what the Eagles would. It could be the difference between winning the division and not.
