@AdamSchefter: Filed to ESPN: Bills have notified LB Kiko Alonso he is going to be traded to Philadelphia for RB LeSean McCoy. Trade official next week.
@adbrandt: Kiko Alonso has two years left on his contract at $746,000 and $942,000. LeSean McCoy has two years left on his contract at $6.9M and $7.6M.

go after all the guys from your former program. Johnson loaded up on players on the U for the Dallas rebirth. Still, you wonder if those offseason machinations which gave Chip more power when it looked like he might be let go is going to blow up in their face if the Oregon Eagles implode.
looking ahead to our Giants. This means that CJ Spiller will not be going back to Buffalo. We know that Reese was interested in him back during the draft. I wonder if we'll see the Giants try to go after him for that speed back role that they lost when David Wilson was forced to retire.
Real head scratcher from the iggles standpoint. Trading McCoy for an injury prone RB. Good for Rex...hopefully this will equate to a few extra wins for him. Can't believe this was a straight up deal!

big position and team impact differential.
Very true. RB that touches the ball 30 times a game vs a LB who makes 10 tackles a game. Alonso was the rookie defensive player of the year and will probably play very well for the Eagles. Gets them younger on Defense, and this draft is loaded at RB.
With Kelly in command of the personnel decisions, and big push for Mariotta is not out of the question.
McCoy was that Eagles' offense bread and butter. Made that read-option style worth it. Who takes over?
He was their best player, period.
Risky trade because of that, along with hoping Alonso recovering from his ACL injury. Guessing Philly will go after Worilds and another higher caliber FA (McCourty and/or Maxwell).

I just spoke with the Eagles organization and there is no trade for LeSean at this time. There have been discussions but nothing finalized
but if Chip Kelly, who watches it up close, thinks that Polk or someone else can replicate close to the same production running behind his lines and with his offensive system, then this may make the Eagles a lot better.
I won't grave-dance until I see this actually worsen the Eagles.

Wouldn't keep adding injury prone players..the goal is to get more durable..

when you wonder if the front office of teams know more than we do and we will end up looking back and seeing why they made a move and it pays off. This isn't one of those times. This is 100% Chip Kelly thinking his system allows for him to plug and play any running back and he doesn't need to pay that much for the production that McCoy gives. McCoy was a nightmare for the Giants. I can't wait for Kelly to give up the farm for Mariotta and have that whole thing implode.
I really like Kiko Alonso, very sad to feel I have to root against him now. Hopefully Shady brings some wins to Buffalo.
@PriscoCBS: Chip Kelly will have all Oregon players on his roster. Brilliant.

One injury, no matter how significant, does not make Alonso injury prone.
Nevertheless, trading McCoy makes very little sense to me unless you plan to spend big in FA.

This has to be Chip Kelly telling the world that his high-powered offense can function without high-powered players.

"And I think this pretty much closes the book on C.J. Spiller. And perhaps opens the door for David Harris to Buffalo."
figgy, you are correct. He did have an ACL in college
