As it turns out, the Eagles didn’t approach running back LeSean McCoy regarding a possible pay cut because the Eagles had other plans for McCoy. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Eagles will trade McCoy to the Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso.
The agreement can’t be finalized until the start of the new league year, next Tuesday. In theory, either side can back out until the clock strikes 4:00 p.m. ET on March 10 and the paperwork is submitted.
The move underscores the willingness of the Bills to spend big in an effort to parlay their 9-7 finish in 2014 into the team’s first playoff appearance since 1999. From Philly’s perspective, the trade makes it abundantly clear that coach Chip Kelly runs the show — and that there are no sacred cows. Last year, DeSean Jackson got the heave-ho; this year, LeSean McCoy gets a one-way ticket out of town.
It also reunites Alonso with the man who recruited him to Oregon. Which will serve only to fuel speculation that Kelly plans to do whatever it takes to get the quarterback he recruited to Oregon.
