Trade winds on McCoy to the Eagles begin to pick up
‘What about for the Bills? How much sense does it make to ship away your most accomplished and dynamic offense weapon, in an offense that is severely lacking players that can make someone miss in the open field. How much sense does it make to trade your starting running back on a team that is trying to protect their rookie starting quarterback from being thrust into the fire. One Eagles radio host believes the Bills at least are entertaining the idea, because they have a price in mind.’
Bills sign Anderson; release Marlowe
‘“I think [Anderson> provides that [veteran presence>, or would provide it if it gets that far.

Eagles talking trade for McCoy?
‘McCoy is coming off his best game of the season rushing for 85 yards on 24 carries. The Eagles average 110 yards per game on the ground(17th in the NFL). The Bills have not been shy about trading veteran players for draft picks in the past and with a potential rebuild on the horizon the Bills and Eagles could be good dance partners.’

Brian Daboll: 4 Notable Quotes
‘Yeah, that’s what we’re aiming for. We need to be better on a lot of different areas, the passing game being one of them.
