Kiko "Torn ACL" Alonso, Philadelphia Eagle

[MDS]

early SPECULATION is that this frees up even more $$ to spend in free agency, and then they will trade essentially every draft pick for MM

accompanying theory (from me): they will sign ray rice

[PhillyPhreak54]

@RosenhausSports: I just spoke with the Eagles organization and there is no trade for LeSean at this time. There have been discussions but nothing finalized

I think they'll sign a guy like Spiller. Herremans interview holds true...they value ol and qb over skill positions.

Bills fans are pissed...guy is coming off a major knee injury and they just got one of the most exciting players in the game...doesn't compute

Shady wasn't going to renegotiate anything.  He had money coming to him and that was that.  It's stunning how fast this franchise says, "farg you" to people who won't play ball with them financially.   Doesn't matter who it is or what they've done... if you don't fall in line, you're out.  No hesitation.

I don't even know what to say now.  Insanity.

They're from buffalo so it must've rotted their brains

hes a white salt of the earthy gritty go getter....racist upstate NY eats that up, as does our beloved coach

getting over the shock of the move, it kinda makes sense in a way. you have to see what else they do. shady is a great player, of course, but the nfl is NOT a running back league anymore.

he was pretty legit as a rookie.

but his knee was ripped to pieces soooo....

Racist upstate ny? Even half-joking you're still unbelievably stupid

This feels like a Sam Hinkie move. Trade a player at peak value, at a replaceable position where analytical trends show has a decent chance at a significant production drop-off in 2 years for a player that could be a key cog in your team for a decade.

That said, Shady is special, and right now he's certainly the better player, and I'm going to miss the guy.

his peak value was probably last season....but i get your point

shady is special NOW, but hes probably not going to special next year. they saved a ton of money....which allow them to spend wildly in free agency....which will allow them to waste on entire draft on MM.

this one is going to be fun to watch play out.

[SD]

Sadly I think mds is right...they're going to go crazy in free agency to fill needs so they can blow a bunch of picks for mm.

[AshishPatel81]

Whether or not this move works remains to be seen, but I'm guessing Chip thinks he can pick a 1,200 yard RB off the tree for cheap. Won't be as good as Shady, but good enough. But you get a stud LB for the future on top of it. Sound logic, but still... Shady man..

He actually out and out confirmed it.  Said the team wished him well and told him the deal was done.

Wow.
