    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.

    Hm.

    Kiki Alonso.

    So Chip Kelly likes his former players.

    And we didn't trade them Dion Jordan back when we had the chance.

    Man, McCoy would rock in this offense.

    Rather play against mccoy than kiko. Mccoy will be underused by rex meanwhile rex having one of the best lbs inthe league is scary. Plus maybe this will push miami harder towards suh.

    That is true they may have gained a good RB but they lost a heck of a defensive player.

    cause the jets didn't run on us for 200+ yards with the scrub RB's they had last season?

    I think that's a bad move for the Bills. Good for us. Alonso was really good. They had Spiller. He's not as good as McCoy, but still, I wouldn't let a guy like Kiko go. JMO.

    That trade was a major win for philly, especially in a year where you can find good backs in fa and the draft. Glad kikos gone, i think he will turn out to be a great player

    I agree, especially since RB's carreers last less than LB's...Chris Johnson, for example, started declining at around McCoy's age. McCoy is 26 going on 27 while Alonso is 24 going on 25... Philly wins big time here.

    Boy, Rex sure did learn his lessons from his tenure with the Jets. I wonder how much of this was his idea. He came from a team with Geno Smith to a team that currently has the only guy that might be worse than Geno Smith. And sank big resources into a big money RB. Because that formula works so well in the current NFL.

    Could, ground and pound, before he lost his talent on D was successful for Rexxy

    Real question is Harris, does this mean Rexxy is going to go after him in FA? I'd say it points that way

    Probably going to run 80% of the time, at least the element of surprise is pretty much out the window. Let's just hope we fix our run D by next season.

    True. Will be interesting to see if they keep Spiller this year. Have to imagine Jackson retires a Bill.

    In the end I think Kelly will be able to make whoever lines up at RB prolific in Philly, and Buffalo got rid of a low salary player who had an amazing rookie campaign. Kinda think Philly won this one...

    Guess that tells you what Rexy thinks of his QB's in Buffalo. Clearly he's going off his plans from the early success he had with the Jets with a offense based through his RB. Which is pretty understandable since they don't have a QB in Buffalo for him either. It's gonna be all about the RB's, and that defense there in Buffalo.

    Well away from here
    Are seriously suggesting the coach who once allowed his QB to throw it what like 17 times or so is going to underuse McCoy? The same coach who rode 'ground and pound' to two straight AFCCG? You really think this?

    Honestly given our line backing corp you should be having ****ing nightmares - while you're awake.

    Things in the division are certainly getting worse before they get better. Ugh. One of the best backs in the league.

    Confusing trade. Not sure who wins or loses. McCoy is more of a slasher type, Philly already has Kendricks, a terrific ILB.

    yes, will be interesting to see if McCoy, used to excelling in a spread offense, can come back to ground and pound and still produce at the same elite level. I think he still be good, but maybe not elite.

    It was alluded to earlier that Rex had success with running the ball earlier in his tenure and I believe this is a step in that direction. During his initial foray into head coaching Rex had Thomas Jones and LaDanian Tomlinson and that is a heck of a lot better than what he eventually ended up with. LeSean McCoy is going to be mad and want to prove something. Meanwhile on defense Rex has gotten the most out of his players and will do the same thing because there is talent there that one player won't make too much of a difference.

    They basically didn't have Kiko last season and still walked away with a winning season. They still have their defensive line and a decent CB unit, plus some of the other young LBers stood out. They can add a David Harris in FA or draft another young LBer and they'll be on that side of the ball. The offense needs more individual playmakers and that's what hey got with Shady, a playmaker who will help open the game up for their young WRs.

    The Bills were already the second best team in the AFC East. The addition of McCoy has just made them that much better.

    While Alonso is a good LB, he missed the entire 2014 with an injury to his leg and his absence had no detrimental effect on the Bills defense. They were the best defense in the division without him.

    The Bills are the definite winner in this trade.

    McCoy isn't nearly as good as he's built up to be. In the years he's had elite blocking he's looked great. In the years he's had average blocking he has looked extremely average. Not to say he isn't a damn good player and won't make them better, he is and will, but he's not going to make me lose sleep. Wake me up when they have a QB worth anything.

    In the year Ricky had great blocking he ran for 1853. In the year following without great blocking, he ran for 1300+ and didn't even average 4 ypc. Running backs need holes to run through. What separates running backs from each other has nothing to do with basic stats. Shady is 26 years old. After AP, Shady is the most dynamic runner at the RB position and has got 3-4 great years left in him. This isn't good for us or anyone in the AFC east.
