$5 mil less than McCoy, correct?

Should be a good fit in the offense. Not sure I like giving that amount to any RB but whatever. Good player.

Rome · March 12, 2015, 02:01:15 PM

Absolutely love it.

I'd rather they just kept Shady. This makes no sense to me.

Make that a $5.5 mil savings v. McCoy's renegotiated deal. So Kiko Alonso, Demarco Murray, and $5.5 million in savings in exchange for McCoy

How much of that will end up going to Mathews? It's still money going to the RB position. Makes no sense.

You'd rather have shady over Alonso/Murray/Matthews?

Rusty's drunky.

rjs246 · March 12, 2015, 02:14:43 PM

Yes, I would. Chip is just making deals for the sake of making deals. Are they markedly better now? Is Murray suddenly NOT injury prone? Is Murray, Sproles, Matthews any better than Shady, Sproles, Polk? Do we have any idea what Kiko will be able to do other than recite the Oregon fight song? It's just tinkering for the sake of tinkering.

No no, this is fine. The guy who's older than McCoy and had more wear and tear put on him last year than McCoy plus this broken linebacker and broken runningback are way better than just dumb old McCoy.

Rome · March 12, 2015, 02:17:23 PM

You guys are just being stupid now. I get the whole cynicism thing. Trust me. But this is a great signing and the three of them combined vs just Shady is a great return.

Yes

If shady went down last season who's his back up? Sproles is 150 lbs, Polk is never healthy. Murray was better than Shady last season. Now they have Murray and Mathews (if he signs). They save money plus add a good young LB. Don't see the downside in this.

I'm on the fence. Not thrilled that he ended up with a division rival but that's true of any Dallas FA and no way I wanted Dallas to spend that kind of $$ on him. You can't say he's overpaid based off of last season's production but my gut tells me last year was his peak.

No bitterness here. He wanted to get paid, he got paid and he wasn't going to get this kind of $$ in Dallas. Good for him, get it while you can.

I obviously can't speak from a Philly fan perspective but some of Kelly's moves... It's almost as thought Jerrah Jones threw a Chip Kelly costume on then started wheeling and dealing. I'm sure he has a plan but I can't grasp it.

I guess Chip runs his personnel like he runs his offense: "Keep'em guessing"

EJ, if you ever figure out what's going on, please let us know.
