It was Chip Kelly who handed it to Whaley - on a silver platter.
I'm picturing this conversation:
CK: "Are you interested in LeSean McCoy?"
DW: "What do you want for him?"
CK: "Kiko Alonso."
DW: (awkward silence, waiting to hear what else he wants)
CK: (awkward silence, waiting for Doug to respond)
DW (bewildered): "OK, it's a deal."
DW hangs up.
DW: "Man, I shoulda bought a lottery ticket this morning."
