Shady McCoy to the Bills for Alonso?

[The_Real_TCIII]

We are through the looking glass people! What are we missing??

[Lawdwaz]

CJ Spiller is history too.

[The_Real_TCIII]

I think Spiller will explode somewhere else

An inexpensive rising defensive stud for a RB with a $10 million cap hit. Rex is going to bring aging David Harris over to replace Alonso. Total Rex Ryan move. Can't believe he still has a job.

RBs are a dime a dozen these days in NFL. The Bills have a much worse O Line than the Eagles and mccoy stunk last year. Great move for philly, they got a stud LB who already played for Kelly at Oregon. Eagles got the better deal, hands down.

Go Chiefs!

McCoy rushed for 1,300 last year and Alonso has two major knee injuries under his belt. And we were pretty great without him. I hope they sign Hughes and Spikes

[Elmo]

In football, it's not simply the quality of the player.  Cap numbers are more important.  If it wasn't for cap numbers, Detroit would never let Suh test free agency since they have the franchise tag available.  And that's what makes this trade even worst.  Philly was considering cutting McCoy before the trade because his salary was prohibitive.  McCoy is going to count $10 million against the Bill's cap while Alonso will count less than one million against the Eagles cap.

On a measly 4.2 average in a great offense. Add in the fact that he's disgruntled now and the bills crap o line, and the bills are in the same situation as last year.

We dealt a one year player who was not on the field last year for Lesean McCoy. A player who's had more major knee surgeries than seasons in the NFL. We have no QB and will be running the ball 700 times. Also there are some solid OL in free agency especially Lupati who played for Greg Roman. Hopefully we make a move

 

I wonder if Kelly is going to trade his entire draft to get Mariota now

[rotorooter23]

It is the time of season for speculation and dreaming. So many possibilities with the next few weeks planning everything out. I've read so many things from Peterson going to the Cowboys...How? and the Giants making a run at Suh ( which i would love but seems so far from reality).

[The_Real_TCIII]

Daniel Snyder is going to give Suh a fratillion dollars

[rotorooter23]

Is he really better than Watt? I don't  think so in my opinion. He wants to be the highest paid and I'm sure he will get it.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Watts a totally different player, almost a hybrid DE/LB. Oh and he also catches TDs lol

[Elmo]

JJ Watts doesn't stomp on opposing QBs and get suspended.  Plus JJ Watts has better dance moves.

Unfortunately for Watts, he negotiated when there was still 2 years left on his current deal which meant the Houston Texas had the leverage.  Suh will be a free agent.

I actually like this move. Bills have the cap space, get a "top 5" RB, and shed off a guy with potential that has likely been limited due to multiple major knee surgeries, and probably runs a higher risk of recurrence of another blowout of the ACL/MCL, etc. The backfill for Alonso likely won't be a bad option and the offense steadies up its run game which was likely going to be a major area of need given Spiller wants to cash in on the "big money" contract for RBs, meaning we'd have to overpay to keep him, and then Jackson, who is likely in his last year of the league. Trading the 1st round this year made picking a RB (that could handle the bulk of carries) in the draft a much more costly endeavor because of the other areas of need.

 

Resigning Hughes is big, as is bringing in a QB that can compete. The value for Hughes type players has proven to be monstrous this year and he rightly wants the money. He has earned it, so give it to him to keep that line together a couple more years. The prospect of a QB is looking weak as the days get closer to the draft. Adressing some line issues is also there. I really like iupati...they need to get him.

Bill just got Matt Cassell.

I just saw that. Gag.

[Merlot]

T-rex will package the Philly Malcontent with couple other players to San Diego for Rivers. Imagine 'Ole man Rivers tossing passes to Watkins and Woods. Fun to speculate.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Id like to see Searcy come back too.

[phade]

4.75 per year isn't a backup salary. At that price point, QBs usually get on the field. I'm sure they intend on him competing for the starter role. Would like to see Sanchez or Hoyer or even Schaub come in down the line for a three-way "best of the rest" competition since the Bills cannot land a franchise QB.

[BizCT]

As a diehard Chiefs fan, good luck with Cassel! Can't wait till we play you guys in Arrowhead this year.

 

Interesting fact: This year will be the 8th straight season in which the Chiefs and Bills play each other.

[The_Real_TCIII]

Cassel couldnt get the job over Ponder right? Or was he hurt??

I remember back in the hay days of Bills football, getting destroyed in KC on Monday nights more than once.

As much as I think Cassel coming to the Bills isn't the right one (would rather Sanchez), he has had two 10 win seasons. That's something the Bills haven't had in a while.
