nucci Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 You can easily pick up quality RBs in the draft or have waited until the Eagles had cut McCoy which they were going to do. He was not going to take a cut in pay and was on his way out. This trade is stupid. Kiko is one of the best players on the team and will be pro bowl caliber for 5 to 8 years. McCoy has one to two years left at a high level. Not a good trade at all. A bit of a stretch...Not even one of the best players on defense
klos63 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Not really - acls are basically arthroscopic surgery these days. except that they are not. ACL's need a full year to recover. some scope procedures have the players back in a couple weeks.
hondo in seattle Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 It's funny that most of the Philly boards hate it and most here at TBD hate it??? McCoy is a proven stud and I really like the idea of the legend of Kiko. I like it. I can see how Philly hates it. Seems like Chip Kelly nepotism acting up again. How do you trade your most productive offensive weapon away for a LB? Any LB? Let alone for a LB who only has a promising rookie season under his belt and missed all of last season to a torn ligament! Maybe someone should go on their message boards and console them by telling them about the Legend of Kiko.
The Wiz Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I love me some Kiko but will say the move is needed. CJ is going, the message couldn't be clearer. That leaves an aging FJ and two guys that probably totaled in their career what McCoy did last year. I still think either Boobie or Brown will get cut with a mid round RB coming in the draft.
BuffaloMatt Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Not sure how I feel but I think Kiko has been one of the most overrated players here so far. Not to mention he tore the other ACL in college. I'm excited about it. Just look at his numbers compared to CJ who is unfortunately talking trash as he is walking out the door.
The Poojer Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 apparently CJ Spiller is announcing he has been cut and that the teams have his agents number I love me some Kiko but will say the move is needed. CJ is going, the message couldn't be clearer. That leaves an aging FJ and two guys that probably totaled in their career what McCoy did last year. I still think either Boobie or Brown will get cut with a mid round RB coming in the draft.
truth on hold Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I can see how Philly hates it. Seems like Chip Kelly nepotism acting up again.

Let alone for a LB who only has a promising rookie season under his belt and missed all of last season to a torn ligament! Maybe someone should go on their message boards and console them by telling them about the Legend of Kiko. Because McCoys numbers and role in the offense were fading fast, + they unload a large salary. I can totally see why eagles did this.
Bill from NYC Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Even though I like Spiller more than you, it's good to hear from you Bill! Brother, this trade would seem to ABSOLUTELY mandate that the Bills go after blockers via the draft, free agency or both. How about Bulaga, ya know? I am absolutely thrilled by this trade! GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rdand12 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Yep Whaley is a !@#$ing moron. It's official. or is it? is this a ploy? because its too bizarre to be real
nucci Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Because McCoys numbers and role in the offense were fading fast, + they unload a large salary. I can totally see why eagles did this. Agree but doesn't mean he won't perform well here
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 kiko just vetoed the trade with a simple growl.
NoSaint Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 apparently CJ Spiller is announcing he has been cut and that the teams have his agents number If cj was cut someone should be fired. I'm guessing they just gave him permission to do as he pleases as an expiring contract is in the comp pick talk and cut isn't
Bill from NYC Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 apparently CJ Spiller is announcing he has been cut and that the teams have his agents number Music to my ears lol!!!
QCity Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Shady is certainly not a power back. RB's like him drop off the planet verrrryyyy fast once they lose a step. With 6 years already on him, we probably just traded 2-3 years of McCoy for a career out of Kiko. Will be really interesting to see where this ends up 3 years down the line. Of course, it's always amusing to see how fast our fanbase can turn on one of it's idolized players.
3rdand12 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) A bit of a stretch...Not even one of the best players on defense um yes he was is Edited March 4, 2015 by 3rdand12
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This from a Drew Rosenhaus tweet: I just spoke with the Eagles organization and there is no trade for LeSean at this time. There have been discussions but nothing finalized 6:51 PM - 3 Mar 2015
