I would say a 3rd and maybe a sweetner like an additional 5th in 2020.  If we could get a second I would be thrilled but It would be hard to believe that we could get that for a 30 year old running back.  If it were anything less than a 3rd, I don't think it would be worth it considering how poor we are on offense.

  The Eagles are looking at this year as another SB run so they would spend more to insure that run happens.  If they just were another team sitting on the fringe of the post season then yes they would be more conservative with an offer.

I don’t think the eagles are a SB team with or without mccoy

The Eagles have not looked good with either Foles or Wentz so far.  Does getting Shady magically make them a SB contender again?

They haven't looked that bad.  They probably win on Sunday if Ajayi doesn't fumble at the goal line.  That team has talent everywhere and the NFC East is weak.  They will likely win that division.  Carson Wentz is not in top form yet and I expect them to pick it up.

Love the man, but trade him if we can get a 3rd or even a 4th.  No brainer unless they think we can win this year.....

Well, a lot of people (including myself) thought we could've started 0-5 to 0-7. So, 2-3 is pretty surprising. I think we could be competitive this year and, most importantly, GROW. I don't want to strip the team of its captain and only offensive force. That will demoralize everyone. It's not worth the 2nd or 3rd.

I don't think it would be that way with this one.  McCoy has been treated very well in Buffalo and I think he would welcome a chance to get back to Philly and be on a team that is talented enough to win a Super Bowl.  I would expect that he would have very kind words for the city and the organization on his way out the door if he was indeed heading back to Philly.

 

 

I liked the idea (posted in a similar thread) to have a sit down with McCoy and give him the option.  Of course you don not let him go for less than a 2nd round pick in 2019.

I can see both sides on this one.

 

From purely a business plan perspective, it makes sense to trade him since we're really building for 2 years from now, when McCoy likely won't be here or be at his best anymore anyway. 

 

However...we're so strapped on weapons that it could make QB1's development even tougher. If the plan is to keep playing him the rest of this season and the return is going to be a 3rd round pick or lower, it might make sense to keep him .

I’m with ya here. Completely depends on the pick. 3rd or more...you almost have to. What’s up with Murphy?  Is he hurt or a healthy scratch?

NFC is a beast ... I don’t think they make it past the Wild Card given the way the look right now 

They have as good a chance as any other NFC east team of winning that division.  They are a championship team and if I were them and believed McCoy makes a big difference, I'd trade a second (a pick in the mid-high 50s, after all). They are not playing for the future.


The Bills should NOT trade him for a 3rd because a) he has a reasonable contract and b) is likely to be far better in 2019 than any 3rd round RB they draft.

Forget a pick. 

 

Get an established NFL player for him. A WR.

If the Eagles are going to trade for a 30 year old back with the intentions of winning a Super Bowl this year, what receiver are they going to give up that could actually help us?  Jordan Matthews is currently 4 on their depth chart.

Whaley didn't draft EJ; Butler did. If Whaley was still here we would have had Mahomes or Watson without giving away our better players. Think about that while inaccurate Josh bless us with his inaccurate passing.      

Whaley was the GM for the 17  draft??????????!

I’m glad that mccoy would be ok with the trade if it happens but i don’t think the bills owe him anything. If they think it’s the right move for the team then do it. If they don’t, then don’t. That’s all they should care about, not whether he wants to stay or go.

Everyone on here saying Peters please just stop.  We are not trading for a 36 year old tackle who would probably rather retire than come back to Buffalo.

  People forget that once Peters departed from here that he has not had a very high opinion of the team or city.

I'm pretty torn about this.

On the one hand, the Bills have already pretty much stripped the offense to the nubs. Getting one more good draft pick in exchange for a player who likely won't be around when the Bills are ready for prime time potentially makes sense.

On the other hand, McCoy is a locker room leader, a team captain, and has a great relationship with Allen. Taking away the ONE good offensive player the Bills have -- and thus making life even HARDER on their rookie QB -- might be a foolhardy move.

The question, of course, is what would the compensation be? Anything less than a 2nd rounder (which I doubt the Eagles would be willing to part with) probably isn't worth it. Why? Because, again, you don't want to make Allen's difficult development even MORE difficult by stripping him of another good offensive player and a mentor/leader in the locker room.

 

That all makes sense but if they could get a 3rd for McCoy that pick could be used to upgrade the OL next season which would also help Allen.

 

Im not sure what the answer is but I do know that anything less than a 3rd isn’t worth it.

How about a 3rd and backup center Isaac Seumalo?

 

 

Been talk in Philly that Seumalo (who plays G too) might replace Wisniewski.

Depending on their future plans Seumalo or Wisniewski could be dealt.

 

Eagles have 2 - 2nd round picks.

A 2nd + Seumalo/Wisniewski   for  McCoy + a lower return pick (one of the extra 4s or 5s) could do it.

 

Not that I'm a fan of getting rid of Shady at all.

The eagles would be much better off signing gillislee or Jamaal Charles and trading for Deone Buchanan or Hassan reddick. Their problems are on D. 

You nailed it earlier in thread, the Eagles would have to overpay for McCoy because that’s all the Bills have and there is no need to get rid of him.

 

It would be really short sighted for them to give up a 2nd, unless of course they win another SB by doing so.

TY! I was hoping the link would post the tweet and it did not...

Ask for a 2nd and a 3rd, jump for joy if you get a 2nd and a 5th.

I think moving Shady to Eagles makes since if we can get the right compensation, but only the right compensation.  Makes no sense to dump him when he has become close to Josh and is his only real dependable weapon.

 

Trades I would do (not that it means the Eagles would, but if available I would)

 

Shady for Alshon straight up.

Shady for a 2nd

Shady for a 3rd and Goedert

Shady for Agholar and a 4th

 

I think the best case scenario is:  Shady for a 3rd.  I would be surprised if we got more than that, but Beane shocked me too when he got a 3rd for Tyrod.  I would expect the Eagles will push to keep it at a 4th rounder at most given his age, off field question marks, and salary.  But we are in position of power here, we dont need to trade Shady as we have plenty of cap space already next year.

 

If its a 4th rounder or less, then I wouldn't do it.  Its more important to help Josh than to get an extra fourth IMO and we already have a TON of cap space next year, so dumping McCoy for salary really would be pointless.  Honestly, it would be hard to do it for a 3rd even just given the importance of having some help for Josh out there and Shady is his biggest fan on this team.  

Dude, Goedert was the 49th overall pick in the last draft.

Bills asking for a 2nd and 3rd round pick in exchange for LeSean McCoy

 

 

If Bills can get that then a no brainer IMO.  

 

Bills have NO reason to dump Shady, we have an insane amount of cap space next year, we dont need to salary dump.  Only way it makes sense is to load up on picks or get a pick and a player that can catch or block back IMO.  Otherwise keep him, him and Allen have bonded and Allen has no one else on this team to help him.  

 

Maybe:  McCoy and KB for Alshon and a 3rd?

Not really because his value is higher to the Bills and they have leverage since they want to keep and already have 10 draft picks 

  At this point in the season and given McCoy's overall contribution that 9 million is of minimal concern to the Bills.

I like that the Bills are asking for too much. They don't NEED to trade McCoy. It's Philly that wants him. If they want him bad enough, they'll overpay. If not, then no trade, and the Bills keep their best offensive player (who hasn't yet lost a step, by the way). Win-Win for Buffalo.
