They have Gore. I don't think age is was their concern.

I thought about starting a thread with that pic, but didn't want to be "willy nilly conspiracy guy", but maybe he knew all along or had a really good feeling he wasn't going to be in Buffalo much longer. Kind of surprised they couldn't get compensation for him in the later rounds, but this also opens up a spot for a guy like Duke Wiliams, or even Christian Wade if they really like the guy.

That he had no trade value is Beane's opinion. Ask him to explain his thinking (although it's pretty obvious). Edited August 31, 2019 by Mr. WEO 1
Roundybout Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 If he had trade value we would have done it by now, no? Thanks for the awesome memories, Shady. 1 1

It's already obvious. Doesn't change the fact that I was surprised by it. Why is this an argument? Are you saying that I should not have been surprised? Everyone was surprised by this move.

It's should not surprise you--he has not trade value, as everyone has explained.
Mat68 Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 31 year old back coming off an abysmal year. Still one of the largest salaries for a Rb. All that creates for a 0 trade market. McCoy at 2 mil or McCoy at 9 are different conversations. 1

We just need Brady and Belichick. I said they should have traded him years ago. But they couldn’t get anything for him.

It's should not surprise you--he has not trade value, as everyone has explained. That's not what people have been saying all off season and preseason. People have been talking about trading McCoy. Obviously not for a high draft pick, but for a 5th or a 6th. Beane couldn't get that and now we know that. But most people assumed he could have. Seems the revisionist history has already begun. Most assumed he would be on the team. Now people are revising that history and will say "I always knew he wouldn't make the team". Most assumed he would not be outright cut. Now people will say "I always knew he'd be cut". People can lie through their teeth if they want. Truth is there were a couple McCoy naysayers and the rest believed that McCoy was going to have a bounce back year with the Bills.
