| When I met McCoy at a pre-Super Bowl party last year. |
Did you see that one coming?! Being a Buffalo fan who lives
in Philadelphia, you already know how much my phone blew up during dinner.
The Eagles will send RB LeSean McCoy to the Bills in
exchange for LB Kiko Alonso. Eagles fans will have to trade in their jerseys,
but Bills fans will gladly wear McCoy on their backs. This trade will not be
completed until next Tuesday, however, I wouldn’t be surprised if this trade
offered the Eagles a draft pick as well. For now, it’s a simple exchange of
players.
While Kiko is rebounding from his ACL injury, he’s an
impressive player who has immense potential. In his rookie season, he led the
NFL in third for 159 tackles and was an all situation player playing every
down. Kiko made a lasting impression on the field for the Bills. Despite his
injury, he’ll be ready for the upcoming season. Based off his Instagram posts,
he seems to be dedicated to his rehabilitation.
McCoy rushed for 1,319 yards and five touchdowns last
season. In Philadelphia, he set a franchise record of 6,792 yards and 40
rushing touchdowns. He fits exactly what Rex wants offensively for the team.
Somewhat surprised by the trade, it’s no doubt that the
Bills got the better end of the deal. My Eagles friends aren’t all too
thrilled, but I will continue to assure them that they are in good hands with
Kiko. He’s a young player with his entire career ahead of him. This upcoming
season is simply determined on how well he rebounds from his injury.
