YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 @siriusXMNFL Breaking: Eagles announce they've signed FA CB Leodis McKelvin to a 2 yr deal. @rapsheet The #Eagles announced they signed CB Leodis McKelvin. I'm told it's a 2-year deal worth just over $6M. Good luck Leo! Oh no... @adamcaplanNFL Can also return punts, kicks. Turns 31 to begin season....

26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Not surprised he found another home so soon. Good luck Leo and beat that ass in Philly.
hmsmystic Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Good luck Leo- had to go for the money he was making, but he was a solid Bill
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, folks are actually saying nice things! McKelvin had his flaws but he turned into a pretty good cover CB and seemed to love being in Buffalo. He goes from a nickel CB at best to a starter. Congrats and good luck.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Gonna be fun watching a big punt fumble.
Virgil Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Always wanted Leodis to pan out and he did show some flashes. But I just forgive those pats games nor ignore the injuries Edited March 8, 2016 by FireRex
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 schwartz knows he's lazy. Good for Leo! interesying that, as far as I can tell, they never bothered talking to Mario
The Jokeman Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, folks are actually saying nice things! McKelvin had his flaws but he turned into a pretty good cover CB and seemed to love being in Buffalo. He goes from a nickel CB at best to a starter. Congrats and good luck. McKelvin was solid in coverage but horrible at tracking the ball and as a result not an ideal fit in Rex's man coverage schemes. As he often got burned when the ball was about to hit the WR or missed INT when had the chance to grab one. He'll be missed no doubt but I couldn't see him beating out Darby or Gilmore so wasn't worth the salary he was making.

He'll be missed no doubt but I couldn't see him beating out Darby or Gilmore so wasn't worth the salary he was making. Agree. He did have 6 ints the last 2 years and got his 2014 season cut short. So he did show improvement in that agree. If he found the ball more, he could have been a elite CB.
BuffaloBill Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Would have been nice if he could have closed out his career in Buffalo but good luck to him in Philly...
zonabb Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 My least favorite Bill in the last 15 years, maddeningly inconsistent and among the lowest football IQs I've seen, bone head plays galore. Never could figure out how to turn to the QB. Would love to watch Sammy Watkins against him for a game. Go deep every time. Happy he's gone, won't miss screaming about his stupidity.
3rdand12 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Would have been nice if he could have closed out his career in Buffalo but good luck to him in Philly... word for word
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 He had a good year with Schwartz but I thought a better year with Pettine.
Peter Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I am happy for Leo. Now, it will be interesting to see whether the Eagles sign Mario given that the Rex Haters on this board believe that the only thing separating Mario from being a first ballot HOF is Jim Schwartz.
DC Tom Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Too bad Kelly's not still in Philly...we probably could have traded him McKelvin for DeMarco Murray...
