1. HOLY loving poo poo LESEAN MCCOY GOT TRADED TO THE BILLS

http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2015/3/3/8145169/lesean-mccoy-trade-eagles-running-back-buffalo-bills-kiko-alonso

2. Trent Cole (OLB) got cut
3. Cary Williams (CB) got cut
4. Todd Herremans (RG) got cut
5. Nate Allen (FS), Bradley Fletcher (CB) and a bunch of other FAs are unlikely to return

Discuss which Eagle is the next to leave the nest here.

Also give your thoughts on Chip "The Cleaver" Kelly

Please provide your favorite insane "Eagles get Mariota" trade fantasies in here as well.

I wish I had been with pen and paper listening to WIP on my lunch breaks this offseason. I always just laughed at all the idiots calling in talking about their favorite insanity for trying to get mariota as if he is even anything more than the best prospect qb in the draft (see 2013 draft).

Or he gets Mariota, whichever comes first.

McCoy's production dropped last year and this trade signals that the mileage has caught up with him. Alonso is still on his rookie deal iirc, which makes him cheaper.

Not that far fetched of a trade imo.

Not much better than the secondary, which is why the secondary was REALLY bad. I was already laughing that we were signing the trash thrown out by the packers at linebacker and then don't even get old man cole just for like a year or two.

If this is a real thing that is happening it is more insane than any scenario to get mariota that a 97.5 caller could think up.

In more tragic news, I once again own no jerseys of active Eagles players.

The linebackers are at least better than where they were in 2011 when the Dream Team happened.




That isn't saying much though.

Notes on the looming LeSean McCoy for Kiko Alonso trade (first reported by @AdamSchefter). McCoy keeps his lofty salary. No picks involved

Basically a shambles by the end of the season. With Demeco's health in question and Cole being released (see above) they do need them.

What the gently caress is Chris Polk the starting back now because its certainly not Darren 32 years old Sproles

Philly seems like a nice spot for a guy like Abdullah who'll be available later on.

Or they can bring back Henry Josey and let him dominate the league for years.

Chip Kelly names himself starting QB, RB, WR, TE, RT, RG, C, and LG. Jason Peters can stay as LT.

They're getting rid of old or mediocre players and traded a player who appears to be on the downside to address a position of need.

It came in a flurry but theses moves make sense for building a roster.
