Bills to trade Kiko Alonso for LeSean McCoy


CNY315

Recommended Posts

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/lesean-mccoy/ His contract has $1 million in dead money (guarantted cash), $10 million cap hit for Philly. The Bills will have to renegotiate with Drew Rosenhaus. It will not come cheap.

 

Nope. But it won't be as big of a cap hit as some are fearing (or as it currently is). This should also prove to you that Shady can't hold out. You don't sit with only 1 million left on your deal -- not when you're approaching 30 and are one of the top backs in the game.

 

He'll sign. He'll get paid. It won't wreck the Bills' cap. Everyone wins.

Alonso is actually of Cuban and Colombian descent, not Mexican, but your racism is noted.

You may not know this, but well before God came around, Cuba and Colombia were bent around and attached at the land mass, got together, and !@#$ed, and that is where Mexico came from.

Different teams so the pie chart is apples and oranges (though very pretty),

But who gives a **** about locker room nonsense. Show me the yards.

Kind of my point. We had a great defense without Kiko last year and a crappy offense. We added to the offense and basically stayed the same on defense (assuming Spikes and Hughes are in the plans).

So has there been any update on this?

 

I feel like there's been a whole lot of nothing about this since the rumors were announced. Neither team has officially announced anything. But media is talking like it's a sure thing. Are there actual contract negotiations happening? Is that what's holding up officially?

Officially deals cannot be made until the new league year which is about six days.

Then why have the Bills announced the Cassel trade and not the McCoy trade?

I bet it involves a physical and maybe a restructure and since they really can't even chat with McCoy yet they might have to wait

 

Cassel is like who cares and they know he's not gonna be a problem

 

Both trades will go through tho

not sure. There is not anyone who is saying it won't go through. Even Rosenhaus. I imagine the Bills are negotiating with Shady, as well as Kiko needing a thorough physical. That's what is likely holding it up. Both teams agreed to it. There is no question about that. The Bills called Spiller and told him that is what they're doing, etc.

It all happened so fast.

I'm not suggesting why it won't go through, seems most people are pretty sure it is going through.. just curious what's going on in addition to the Kiko - McCoy swap... whether it's contract, or are there picks involved, etc.

I understand. According to reports this all happened in 20 minutes or so. I'm pretty sure it's contract talk and the Eagles confirming that Kiko's knee is sound. That, to me, is the only thing that could derail it.

No picks involved. Reportedly the Bills are working on the contract to lessen cap hit and increase his guaranteed $. Also, WGR said a well placed source with Bills said they do not have any worries about him reporting or otherwise.

Yes- Kiko will need to pass the physical. I'm sure Dr. Chip will put on his trainer hat to ensure it goes well.
