Eagles and Bills: Major Trade

[O-Ther]

Good for us not facing McCoy next year

[Mol3m4n]

Bills got screwed in my opinion. Alonso will be a top 10 linebacker for a while. McCoy is getting at the age where rb's generally slow down.

Alonso reunites with former Oregon coach Kelly.

They will trade up for Mariota if he's there at 6. The Jets have other holes and wouldn't go QB and they'd love to pick up a bunch of picks. Chip is set on getting Mariota, I'm sure of it.

Wow Kiko is going to be a top MLB for the next 10 years.

McCoy might have 2-3 years of high production, if that.

Terrible trade for the Bills IMO. Just Rex Ryan trying to make a splash.

The Eagles won't have this anymore:

Eagles easily win that trade

Trying to make cap room, plus get a quality LB in return.  Interesting.  I wonder if it has anything to do with Mariota.   

[Cary Kollins]

Kiko was basically a legend in Buffalo. He owned his rookie year.

Curious to see how fans react.

Think Eagles made out on this one. Alonso on a rookie contract.

On paper the Bills got the better end of the deal. But long term, you are right.

A healthy Alonso is a Pro Bowler for years to come.

I like this trade for the Eagles much more than the Bills

[t96]

And I'd say it was a good trade for the Bills. They were dominant on D last year without Kiko, and now they picked up a centerpiece for their offense because lord knows they don't have a QB. If they can shore up their offensive line I could honestly see them pushing for division champs with the Patriots.

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.

 

Traded players have their pro-rated money accelerated up. See Jon Beason
