LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

@AdamSchefter

Filed to ESPN: Bills have notified LB Kiko Alonso he is going to be traded to Philadelphia for RB LeSean McCoy. Trade official next week.

What. The. F***.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

that was my reaction too, makes no sense to trade for a guy coming off an ACL tear

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

I really like Kiko Alonso. Great LB talent. His football instincts are off the chart.

Bills get a very expensive running back and give up a great young LB with cheap contract. Like what Eagles have done.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

I wish more trades like this happened

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Kiko Alonso is a beast and already one of the best coverage LB's at such a young age. Damn why couldn't we have pulled off a trade like this?!

Shady shuffles off...
Kelly hasn't learned that just bc a guy was good for you in college... makes you think he'll do anything to get Mariotta.

I guess the one-good-year CJ Spiller era is over.

Eagles drafting a younger cheaper option at rb

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Shady is what, 24 years of age?

If Chip thinks he is going to just 'plug and play' at the RB position to fit his system, he is sadly mistaken. Shady is a special player however I understand the need for a playmaker at the linebacker position and financial implications involved.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Some great RBs in tge draft and he could go get a Demarco Murray or maybe even throw the Vikings something for Peterson. The Eagles got a good deal there IF Kiko is fit

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Sounds like McCoy and Kelly were at odds with each other. This deal will either make or break Kelly's future in Philly

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Bills & Rex Ryan are looking for instant results I'm guessing.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Now the most important question here is what does this do to Jacksons fantasy football

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Philly has freed up something like $40 million in cap space with some of their recent moves ... maybe they're positioning to get in on the Suh Sweepstakes? They run a 3-4 ... Ndramakong, with his "push-into-the-backfield-don't-disengage-from-the-guy-blocking-you-and-just-stick-your-arm-out-to-try-and-make-a-tackle" style would make a good NT, IMO. I think all he wants to do in a game is get in the mix & pound on O/L anyway, :neutral:.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

This post seriously undersells what Suh does on the football field. In my opinion. Man I'll be terrified if Philly gets him. Heck he could make the Raiders a contender. I also am stunned by the McCoy trade. This guy rushes for a lot of yards and is a great receiver too. And isn't C.J. Spiller a very similar RB to McCoy? I'm not sure that's where Buffalo needs to be spending their $, considering their many shortcomings. I assume Spiller will be traded. Perhaps for a QB.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Spiller is a FA.
The Bills had another roomie come in and play well last year so one needed to be moved.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Ndramakong ..... :broccoli: good one. Maybe he does fit in with the Iggles.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Oh let the Eagles waste their money on Donkey Kong, that's one team on my list that makes me happy when they lose (the NFC, Texans, Broncos, Patriots, Steelers)

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

No it doesn't. He didn't make the Lions contenders, how's he gonna' do it for Oakland? Most overrated player in the NFL besides the fact he's just a defensive tackle. Hasn't changed, developed or improved his game since day one. Give me one game (just one) where Suh's play made a difference in the outcome, a game where his play changed the direction of the game, a game where he dominated/took over and I'll give him his props ... just sayin', :neutral:.

I hope he does go to Oakland.

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

Slo tell us how you really feel about Suh

Re: LeSean McCoy to Bills for Kiko Alonso
 

:lol: ... five years in the league and the guy still just bull-rushes ... no spin move, no counter/club, doesn't rip inside ... nothing. Half the time he blows right by a ball carrier or QB (or they blow by him) because he's so busy playing with the O/L ... seriously, the guy misses a lot of tackles/sacks that he'd otherwise have if he'd hone his craft & develop some moves ... believe it or not, the Lions run defense actually has a better Y/A average when Nick Fairley is in there and Suh is on the bench ... why? Because Fairley has moves to shed his blocker and get to the ball carrier, Suh does not. (their best Y/A is when they're both in there, of course).

The guy is gonna' hold whatever team signs him hostage with the $27+ million he's asking for ... definitely not worth it except maybe in ticket sales/media attention ... hope someone pays him so the Lions can free up that cash and get 3-4 players of need, :neutral:.
