Shady McCoy to Buffalo!

[Bomm Bastic]

Unbelievable football trade this eve. Eagles LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso. Straight up. no picks, and Shady maintains his current salary.

HUGE for Bills acquiring a potential MVP running back.

Spiller on the move.

Wow!

In related news, Bryce Brown put his fist through a wall this evening.

[Bomm Bastic]

Spiller heard of it literally while waiting in the NFL Net green room pre-interview.

[FinnishFlash]

As an Eagles fan..... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

Glad I didn't buy that Shady jersey after...

Chip Kelly is dropping a nuke. I've been listening to Philly sports radio all night to mixed reviews by the callers. There's a ton of speculation that Kelly is clearing up over 60 mil in cap space to execute the following plan...

1. Re-sign Maclin

2. Sign Demarco Murray

3. Sign 2 more high-profiled D

4. Trade Foles and the Eagles ENTIRE draft to get Mariota. Even Maclin was quoted as saying, "Chip has the green light to get his guy and he'll get him."

Yeah I knew last season neither Foles nor the second coming of Dirty Sanchez was THE guy. Where does Mariota fall?

[Axeman33]

Great trade for both teams.

Philly's D just got a whole lot better and they save a pile of cash against the cap.

Buffalo will be even tougher to stop this year.

Free Bryce Brown. He has been buried on RB-deep teams his whole career.

I would love to get that guy on the Seahawks to backup/eventually replace Marshawn.

[Bomm Bastic]

I can see Bills pounding Shady and Brown w/ FJax as the change of pace. Bills just need an average QB as an upgrade over EJ, and they'd be instant playoff team.

They'll sign go after Jordan Cameron hard. Bet it.

But so will Packers...sooo Bills may not win that battle, understandably.

First, Eagles I think got the better player for their respected teams. Alonso is prolly top 5 MLB in the NFL. He’s young, great run defender, and works best when attacking at an angle. He’s a great coverage MLB, 20/20 I think. He’s athletic enough to cover slot guys and top end TE’s. Once he improves on his hand techniques and route awareness, he’ll be one of the best interception threat linebackers out there.

One big thing he’s got to work on is his awareness to just make a tackle. He’s a ruthless hitter and lines players up for highlight hits all the time, which has burned him before. When he recognizes the possible big hits vs the need to just wrap up a guy, his tackling will greatly improve. But I feel like a guy who destroyed college players 10x a game, this would be normal. He’s improved from his rookie yr, but still needs some room to improve.

[Big Ev]

they wouldn't even need Demarco Murray. They would just need a cheaper guy who can fit into his system. Like the guy they have - Sproles.

Buffalo needs a QB at all costs

Always what a fan wants to hear/read:

A source informed ESPN's Josina Anderson that LeSean McCoy is "frustrated" over being traded to the Bills and is "not going to make it easy, that's for sure."
"Of course he's not happy," added the source. "It'll be interesting to see how this process plays itself out because he's an interesting individual. ... He was like 'why me?'" Some are leaving the door open to McCoy possibly refusing to go to Buffalo, leading to the Bills possibly pulling out of the trade prior to it officially going through when the new league year opens March 10. But in all likelihood, the Bills will hand McCoy a new contract with more guaranteed money through 2015 and 2016 and let coach Rex Ryan work his magic as a coach with the ability to convince his players to "buy in." Ryan's the ultimate players coach.

[Bomm Bastic]

Yeah. He'll show. He stands to lose way to much coin. Also, reports are the Bill will reconfigure his current contract to boost his guaranteed $$$.

That always makes the pain go away.

[Bomm Bastic]

Rumor is Bills agreed to a deal for Matt Cassel for undisclosed picks.

Wow. When was the last time and Bills news was relevant much less discussed on national tv in March???

[Axeman33]

Is Cassel really that great of an upgrade to what they already have? I don't think so but that's just my opinion.
