Eagles and Bills: Major Trade

[Mark S]

Wow. The contracts definitely played a factor in this one.

Imagine the epic meltdown if we traded Luke for an aging RB.

Tbh the eagles didn't have many holes and LB was a major one for them to fill. With the 20th pick in this RB loaded draft they could easily replicate mccoys numbers with Sproles + rookie next year. This is a great move by the eagles.

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

 

yup...alonso used to play under kelly too.

Any idea how much of mccoys contract the eagles need to contribute?

Bills making a push to get to double digit wins.

It would be a classic panthers move to sign someone in the middle of this big news

[R0CKnR0LLA]

No Desean. No Lesean. Will be no Maclin.

 

This trade might actually help them clear money so they can re-sign Maclin.

Not sure. But some are saying that the money they saved will be used to re-sign Jeremy Maclin.

[Panthro]

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

did they not tender polk?

did they not tender polk?

Hasn't been done yet. They have until March 10.

Really interesting.  Alonso is a really good LB (at least he was his rookie year, then he got hurt.  don't know what he's been like since then).  Quite possibly a good trade for all parties.  You never see player for player trades.  Hopefully this might help them happen more often.

Didn't he tear his ACL? That's some bad business...I mean I know Davis has gone through 3 but finding athletes like TD are RARE...

Apparently deal was worked out very quickly. Like 20 minutes quick.
