Eagles and Bills: Major Trade

[Mark S]

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to trade LB Kiko Alonso in exchange for RB Lesean McCoy.

Wow. I did not see that one coming. This trade could end up working great for the Bills if they get the Lesean McCoy of two years ago.

The trade could turn out well for the Eagles if they think McCoy is done(which I don't think to be true) but they got a pretty good LB out of Alonso.

Trades don't usually happen in the NFL, especially like this one so this is coming as a shock. It'll certainly be interesting to see which side this trade ends up favoring.

TBH it is.

McCoy was a major part of what made that Eagles offense go. I'm shocked.

Going to need to hear Johnny Rockets thoughts on this.

Could turn out well for the Eagles the more that I think about it

Unless they plan on making Sproles their primary rusher, I see them taking a RB early.

Possible Deangelo landing spot.

good cap move, traded a player at the end of his career for a player at the beginning of one. took balls and a swallowing of emotional attachment to pull off.

 

in other words, a solid football move by a good front office.

RBs don't last in this league. This trade benefits the Eagles long term as Alonso is a great LBer and could potentially play another 8-10+ years. Bills maybe get the best of it short term as Rex will lean heavily on the run.
