Ditch the Lesean McCoy trade and Keep Alonso as trade bait during the draft to move up and possibly get Mariota of Sam Bradford. Here is my possible scenario. The draft prognosticators are predicting that Marcus Mariota may fall to a far as number 10 in the Draft. St Louis is at # 10 and Minnesota is at # 11. We could we ditch the Alonso trade and keep Alonso for a trade with St. Louis or Minnesota. My thought is that in the draft if St. Louis picks up Mariota we could use Alonso as trade bait with Minnesota and do a player trade for Bradford using Alonzo. If things go crazy and St. Louis does not pick up Mariota and instead decide to keep Bradford we could do a trade with Minnesota using our 7th and possibly a 4th in next year draft along with Alonzo to move up into Minnesota 11th spot during the draft and pick up Mariota . We would get value for value as taking Sam Bradford in my scenario is much better than trading Alonso for Lesean McCoy. Running backs are a dime a dozen and if our scouts are doing their jobs they can find an adequate RB in the draft or as a unsigned free agent after the draft.

 

I am totally against giving away Alonzo if a top QB is not in the mix.

Thank you for posting this, we have all been so misguided. Now I get it.

IN all seriousness. If Doug Whaley has any INdication that the fans of this team would be so upset by this trade, would Whaley question his INquiry on whether McCoy could be had for Kiko, and IN fact trade him for a startINg QB INstead?

The trade is a done deal. Both teams gave up a lot. The Bills had a great defense last year without Alonso and figured they could give up some defensive talent to get an upgrade on offense. The Bills get a great RB, and lose a very promising yet often-injured LB and also give up a lot of cap space. I personally would have preferred help at other offensive positions and not losing the cap space, but that's my only gripe about the trade.

 

The Bills have worked out a new contract with McCoy. There is no way they're walking this one back.
