Title: McCoy To Buffalo in trade with Philly Post by: MikeO on March 03, 2015, 07:28:58 pm McCoy to Bills for LB Kiki Alonso. Bad trade for Bills. Overpaid (salary wise) for a RB coming off a bad year. And going to a bad offense
Title: Re: McCoy To Buffalo in trade with Philly Post by: Sunstroke on March 03, 2015, 09:19:48 pm If Alonso's knee is back to 100% (or at least healthy), then I think it's a screamin' deal for the Eagles. Lord knows, they needed serious defensive help, and Kiko Alonso is one of the best young tackling-machine linebackers in the league. Chip Kelly is smart to shed salary, add a premium young defensive player still on his rookie contract and replenish his RB corps from one of the better looking RB classes in recent memory. Still need a real QB and 2-3 guys who can actually cover a receiver, but I'd say that's a good start for Philly if they want to catch Dallas in the NFCE. Not sure what Buffalo is thinking, unless they "really" had concerns about the long-term viability of Alonso's health. Title: Re: McCoy To Buffalo in trade with Philly Post by: MikeO on March 03, 2015, 10:17:17 pm Rumor is Philly might sign Demarco Murray now to play RB. IF so this deal looks even better as I think McCoy has peaked and he didn't look good last year.
Put McCoy in Buffalo where he see's a lot of 8 man fronts on a bad offensive team and he is in store for a poor year Title: Re: McCoy To Buffalo in trade with Philly Post by: Sunstroke on March 04, 2015, 02:41:09 am Rumor is Philly might sign Demarco Murray now to play RB.

Put McCoy in Buffalo where he see's a lot of 8 man fronts on a bad offensive team and he is in store for a poor year I think DeMarco would look pretty darned good on any team, but why pay $8 million (estimate) for a 27 year old RB who just had a 449-touch season, when you can just take a couple of your 7-8 draft picks and grab a few of the plethora of young good looking fresh RB prospects. And you get those guys at a dirt cheap rookie scale, so you can invest that $$ in defensive free agent upgrades. Last year was not the year to overspend on FA receivers. This year is not the year to overspend on FA running backs. I like this year's OG group as well, so for Miami, I hope they go with rookie beef for their interior O-line upgrades.

Bills are a mess. Title: Re: McCoy To Buffalo in trade with Philly Post by: Fau Teixeira on March 04, 2015, 12:47:45 pm fantastic !

Not much the Bills could do for a QB; no good FA's, poor draft class for QB's. They needed a veteran for when EJ goes out injured three games into the season.
