All things off season 2015.

Chip Kelly has now gotten rid of two players who in 2013 accounted for almost 3,000 yards and 18 TDs.

At first glance I was like WTF is Philly doing? I still think that to a degree but let's face it, teams just don't want to pay backs the crazy money these days. He's only 26 and has plenty of gas in the tank, might be one of those deals that work out well for both teams. I'm glad we won't have to see him 2x a year now.

I guess it wouldn't be such a big deal if Kelly hadn't gotten rid of DJax the way that he did. But as you said, I'm thrilled we don't have to deal with McCoy.

Dont you think McCoy would have fetched more than an injuried LB? Also, why didnt Buffalo try to include Foles?

Its also interesting Eagles are chosing to guys like Riley Cooper and Macklin(Im assuming they will pay him) over D Jax and Shady McCoy.


Also they get rid of Trent Cole a team leader instead of re working his deal and Cary Williams...a very solid CB.

These are huge gambles in which history shows dont work out.

Anybody remember Andy Reid clearing a bunch of cap space 4-5 years ago and then going on a spending spree? Anybody remember Spurrier bringing only in his ex florida players?

Interesting folks seem to forget recent history

Has anyone thought about how quick Rex Ryan is taking over with the Bills ?This is a hell of a pick up for them .

IMO, it is definitely a bad trade for Philly. Few backs in the NFL are as hard to contain as McCoy. His explosiveness and versatility covered for the very average WR's on that team. Now, with less of a running threat, the Philly offense is going to have more trouble moving the ball.

Also, I think Philly could and should have gotten more for McCoy. Alonzo is not equivalent value, IMO. They probably would have gotten more if Kelly wasn't so focused on bringing in former Oregon players. On top of that, Alonzo is coming off of a serious injury, so his play will probably be adversely affected by that this coming season.

But I'm all for the trade because it's good for us. Keep up the good work, Chip!

Apparently Alonso has had two ACLs and one Torn Labrum all in the past four years.

I would imagine its almost like Chip said cool I can get a player I know and dump this huge contract. Instead of just flat out releasing him

Still it is very risky, but I almost wonder if he cleared space to attempt to sign a guy like Murray

my dream scenario is they cleared all that cap to re sign their QB, aka Dirty Sanchise :devil:

I don't get the whole "look at the cap space they will have" comments on Twitter. I think of teams like Tampa and Oakland which always seem to have a lot of money to spend, yet that doesn't result in wins.
