YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 @siriusXMNFL Breaking: Eagles announce they've signed FA CB Leodis McKelvin to a 2 yr deal. @rapsheet The #Eagles announced they signed CB Leodis McKelvin. I'm told it's a 2-year deal worth just over $6M. Good luck Leo! Oh no... @adamcaplanNFL Can also return punts, kicks. Turns 31 to begin season....

26CornerBlitz Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not surprised he found another home so soon. Good luck Leo and beat that ass in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsmystic Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Good luck Leo- had to go for the money he was making, but he was a solid Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, folks are actually saying nice things! McKelvin had his flaws but he turned into a pretty good cover CB and seemed to love being in Buffalo. He goes from a nickel CB at best to a starter. Congrats and good luck.

Virgil Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Always wanted Leodis to pan out and he did show some flashes. But I just forgive those pats games nor ignore the injuries Edited March 8, 2016 by FireRex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Wow, folks are actually saying nice things! McKelvin had his flaws but he turned into a pretty good cover CB and seemed to love being in Buffalo. He goes from a nickel CB at best to a starter. Congrats and good luck. McKelvin was solid in coverage but horrible at tracking the ball and as a result not an ideal fit in Rex's man coverage schemes. As he often got burned when the ball was about to hit the WR or missed INT when had the chance to grab one. He'll be missed no doubt but I couldn't see him beating out Darby or Gilmore so wasn't worth the salary he was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he did show improvement in that agree. If he found the ball more, he could have been a elite CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Would have been nice if he could have closed out his career in Buffalo but good luck to him in Philly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 My least favorite Bill in the last 15 years, maddeningly inconsistent and among the lowest football IQs I've seen, bone head plays galore. Never could figure out how to turn to the QB. Would love to watch Sammy Watkins against him for a game. Go deep every time. Happy he's gone, won't miss screaming about his stupidity.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 He had a good year with Schwartz but I thought a better year with Pettine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I am happy for Leo. Now, it will be interesting to see whether the Eagles sign Mario given that the Rex Haters on this board believe that the only thing separating Mario from being a first ballot HOF is Jim Schwartz.

DC Tom Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Too bad Kelly's not still in Philly...we probably could have traded him McKelvin for DeMarco Murray... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
