Maddog69 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Every time anything happens, Bills fans expect the worse. a whole bunch of Chicken Little's around here. Relax. McCoy will play for the BIlls.
Malazan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm not exactly excited about the McCoy trade, but has their been anyone, but an unreliable source that has said anything about him not wanting to go to Buffalo? I mean, I'd expect most players to be upset at hearing they were traded when they first hear it.
buffalo2218 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 ...trade him to the Cowboys for a first and fourth? McCoy will be fine being a Bill after the shock wears off. He'll definitely see the difference in the Bills' and Philly fanbases
bigK14094 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Shady is a PA kid and has lived in Pennsylvania his entire life. His friends and family are all there. And I'm sure the trade came as a shock. I don't blame him for being unhappy. I'm sure he'll adjust to a new reality. Being the workhorse in a Rex/Roman ground-and-pound offense can't sound like a bad thing once he does a little research. Roman has a reputation for drawing up plays that give backs holes to run through. And Rex's former players almost universally like/love him. Personally, I'd be happy to move back to Buffalo (or move to any NFL city), if someone was going to pay me millions per year. Shady will be fine with the trade eventually. Don't forget, Jim Kelly was a PA kid too. That turned out well for him and Bills Nation....it could also for McCoy. But, I don't like that Shady name. I shall call him LeSean......for what its worth.

Please dont ignore the obvious. He's not mad because its not Pennsylvania. He's mad because it IS Buffalo. He's not mad because he got traded. He's mad because it is Buffalo. To most people not in Buffalo, being traded to Buffalo or Cleveland or Detroit is exactly the same thing. And in terms of being happy, you forget two things. (1), you might not be so happy if you already had millions of dollars. (2) you might not be happy if you could make the same millions in any NFL city. Edited March 6, 2015 by maddenboy

maddenboy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 All he needs is to see the Buffalo Love, then he will feel better. Actually, I fully agree with that. Sucks that he called Marshawn (and probably got the applebees story. Or was that McGahee?). But we do love our team. Unlike Philly, which loves its team, but also can quickly turn to hating its team. Welcome aboard, McCoy. You will enjoy your stay.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 ...trade him to the Cowboys for a first and fourth? sure, not going to happen though
ALF Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 McCoy should be mad at Chip, he shipped him out of Philly, he's wanted in Buffalo.
papazoid Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 mccoy will love buffalo.....as soon as they increase the guaranteed money in his contract (he only has $1 mil guar left on his deal)....ala marshawn
BarleyNY Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) ...trade him to the Cowboys for a first and fourth?Wow. That is crazy on all levels. Few things:1) The Cowboys could probably give that big Shady-sized contract to Murray and not give up any picks. 2) Even if they did want to trade for Shady, a 1st and 4th is way out of line. A 2nd or 3rd would be appropriate. 3) if McCoy doesn show up, then he can't have his physical which would void the trade. Edited March 6, 2015 by BarleyNY
xsoldier54 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 McCoy has already stated that he's moved on. He will report and my guess is the Bills re-work his deal to give him some guaranteed money for the next two years and take less of a cap hit this year. It's all good in the hood.
All_Pro_Bills Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 McCoy has already stated that he's moved on. He will report and my guess is the Bills re-work his deal to give him some guaranteed money for the next two years and take less of a cap hit this year. It's all good in the hood. Yes. I saw somewhere, and I cannot recall where, that one of the terms on the trade was the Bills and McCoy were to 're-work' his current contract. That would relieve some of the cap hit in 2015 and in return give McCoy some guaranteed money in 2016. Something his current deal doesn't provide. This is expected before the 3/10 official date for trades. If this condition is not met then I would think the trade agreement would be voided. Doubt it would come to this. But after letting his emotions cool off I can't imagine why McCoy would reject the trade. Absent any other alternative, why would he want to stay someplace where he is obviously no longer wanted?
rfk Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Its all dust in the wind until Sept...I will say Ryan and Whaley have some undeflated balls right now,,next fall they can't blame the equipment guy...
