Kiko Alonso traded for Shady McCoy

[bayeslife]

This only works out if Kiko is a superstar for them. If they can't retain Maclin they'll be left with 0 offensive talent.

Chip has successfully neutered that offense.

Silly to proclaim that team good or bad before FA and the draft.
Come on guys.
They are going to get players- that is obvious. After that- by all means have at it.

Maybe they'll still stink. I hope so.

How? You can't trade cap space.

It would be real interesting if you could...

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Seriously, think about it. A read option where there is never actually a #2 option. That means 90% of the carries McCoy got last year were slow developing runs from the shotgun. The fact that he got the amount of yards he did is damn impressive to me.

And I don't want to hear this non sense about his cap hit. Aside from the 1 fluke "dream team" year the Eagles never spend their money. They are perpetually $15M or more under the cap. I have a seriously hard time believing it was about the money.

In talking about the cap hit I was referring to the amount Buffalo is now stuck with.

In going to Buffalo, McCoy is going to a team with a worse offensive line, a worse QB situation (if you can believe it) and a plain-Jane offensive strategy that will allow defenses to key on him constantly.

Thank you, first fan i heard seems bummed McCoy got traded. Called him a "staple." LOL

 

[jobberone]

He's a stud with a blown ACL. Philly got hosed. Couldn't be happier.

Uncomplicated ACL is generally not a problem anymore.

 

[Joe Realist]

They will trade up for Mariota with draft picks and sign some good players next week.

Yep.

Thinking a torn ACL is a problem is so 1990.

Philly currently has 9 oregon players? LOL Chip Kelly.

My alarm is set for 5:52am

Something tells me this move was to counter Dallas strong running attack as much as anything else.

 

[bark]

The two biggest threats on that philly offense were shady and desean. Both now gone. As a cowboy fan, you gotta love this!

And Maclin a free agent. Not even tagged.

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

Hitchens? Pffft! Lee is back. *cringes*

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

Anybody have info on how much dead money they are incurring from the roster cuts?

 

[EST_1986]

Hitchens? Pffft! Lee is back. *cringes*

This just in: Lee is hurt

 

[RonSpringsdaman20]

Not sure how to take this. Sure it's a problem but often no more than 9-12 months although at times just 6.
