if buffalo agreed to the deal then its done...eagles have washed their hands of shady...doesnt matter what he does hes a buffalo bill

[smeags]

but was the trade agreed upon with the contingency that a new deal would be negociated ? not sure where the bills are cap wise but shadys number is too high.

im sure that would have been reported were it true so i doubt it

They have $32 million in salary cap for 2015.  Hard for us to fathom, but some teams want good players and aren't trying to win the salary cap bowl like the Eagles.

If it really is true the deal was agreed upon in 20 minutes and given how upset Shady apparently is, it doesn't sound to me like there was any negotiation involving the McCoy/Rosenhaus camp.

Arians as well as a tampa rep of some sort have both said they knew shady was out there...so while the actual deal with buffalo may have come out of nowhere and was agreed upon that quickly it seems it was no secret around the nfl that shady was available....they still may not have done their due diligence or maybe they did and no one was interested in him

[SD]

Fearless prediction:
The Colts lose tomorrow. Frustrated with their running backs they ship Vontae Davis to the birds for Shady. Some picks are also exchanged. The birds either try to make a trade for Gio Bernard or sing CJ spiller.

you should have never started playing FF

Piss test SD, please.

My above scenario doesn't seem so crazy now does it?

[General_Failure]

Crazy and implausible are not the same thing.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Nope I am just blindsided by the fact that they dumped a 26yr old star RB and didn't even get an draft picks.

Per league sources the Eagles are expected to go after OLB Jason Worilds as soon as free agency starts #eagles #Steelers

because you dont understand the value of the RB position in todays nfl...a middle aged RB making that kind of money doesnt carry any weight in todays league

seven running backs in the last five years have been taken in the first round

and shady is so stupendously valuable that the eagles have won a grand total of zero playoff games with him

That is a move I'd be completely on board with.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I do understand the RB devaluation in today's NFL. It doesn't take a genius to see that with the way the game has evolved into a pass heavy 7 on 7 game.

However, despite that, when you have a stud running back you hold onto him not give him away for peanuts. If you're going to trade him then you get blown away by a deal and you bite the bullet and do it. Were they blown away by this deal? In my opinion no.

Don't even put the lacc of playoff wins on him.

i wouldnt hate worilds but i want pernell mcphee bad...i think his upside is greater and hes more versatile....his sample size is smaller but he jumps off the screen when you see him...defends the run better than worilds too...id expect him to have a breakout year next year whoever hes with

Alonso isn't peanuts if he's healthy, Phreak.

Settle down.
