OT: Kiko Alonso Traded for LeSean McCoy

[bearmick]

Eagles releasing Trent Cole as well. Already released Cary Williams. They are clearing up cap for something.

Wow.

Wonder if they're making a move for Suh.

 

[Smokey Robinson]

Wow.

Wonder if they're making a move for Suh.

That would be the logical guess IMO there have been plenty of rumours about them going after Maxwell but after these moves they have upwards of 50 mil in cap space if reports are correct.

Yeah, especially when you consider that the road to getting back to the top of that division goes through the team with the best line in football. Suh would be a great answer to that.

(Yo Spartan, if you want an example of a back whose numbers are enhanced by superior blocking, you should be looking at Murray, not McCoy).

 

[LanceStone]

Arrow pointing up for the Bills. They paired a good defensive coach with a very good defensive team. They got a young stud in Watkins, and they just picked up one of the best all around backs in NFL. I'm almost tempted to guarantee a playoff spot next season

 

[Warrior Spirit]

Just because they had better blocking than the Bears doesn't mean that he was ONLY good because of his blocking, nor does it mean his blocking was the best in the league (despite what PFF says). He's still a terrific player. If I was a GM, one of the first players on my roster would be that all-purpose kind of back. If you can land a good one, you get more from one roster spot than just about anywhere else. Shady had a down year in a down year for their offense. He's still valuable and the Bills are a better team by acquiring him. Especially for a LB whose knees are shot.

The LB is damn good and nothing says the kness are shot and absolutely no risk on Philly's part considering he's still on his rookie contract, making about one-tenth what Shady is.

You can talk all purpose back all you want, I still say any back can catch dump offs, if that's what you want.

PFF is a joke, only taken seriously by misguided stat geeks, anti-vaccer loons, and awful GMs who just got fired because they're misguided stat geeks.

Just cause PFF and I know more than you, that's no reason to hate on us.

When talking about backs benefiting from blocking, useless to say one has it better than the other when both teams are regarded, far and away, as the 2 very best at run blocking in the NFL. Who caused more missed tackles? Who had the healthier ypc? Murray and it wasn't even close.

 

[KCCO]

Oh ****, I forgot all about Kromer... hahaha what a shit show that would be though!

 

[KCCO]

I'm just teasing, Kromer is now in Buffalo. That pretty much eliminated them a long time ago.

Oh ****, that's right! I forgot all about Kromer.. hahaha what a shit show that would be though!

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports new Bills RB LeSean McCoy is expected to "make noise about wanting an extension," and could even threaten to decline to report to training camp.
Per La Canfora, the Bills are "bracing for that already." A trade is a perfect time to angle for a new deal, but already due at least $6.9 million each of the next four seasons, Shady isn't going to get it. McCoy will likely/understandably be sour about the deal for some time, but he's going to work for one of the league's great salesmen in Rex Ryan. By the time camp rolls around, Shady should be hungry to prove he's still one of the game's best offensive players. Mar 3 - 7:13 PM

They get a headache in the trade too. Lucky them.

Murray lead the league in yards before contact, if that isn't the judge of a line, I don't know what is. McCoy is one of the more dynamic offensive players in the league. I'm floored people are saying the Eagles got the better end of this deal. Then again there is never a conscious on any topic on this board.

 

[Escobar's Army]

Pick up Spiller as our #2 back/returner? Let me guess, vet minimum, lol

 

[payton 34ever]

They're obviously clearing cap space to trade for Cutler...lol. I'm pretty shocked by this; McCoy was 1st in the NFL in yards and first downs and 4th in TDs scored the last 5 years.

 

[L GUAPO]

I kinda agree with Guapo here. I'm shocked right now!

McCoy is the shiftiest RB since Barry and even though Kiko is awesome, McCoy is an in the box threat that changes an offense. And since you are a fantasy football expert, I know you love your point whore bell cow RBs and would agree

 

[Escobar's Army]

Would you have done Forte for Alonzo?

do it!!

I like the Bills too and I think they just got much better.
