Bills reportedly unlikely to trade McCoy and plan to keep him through 2019

Since Bell is currently holding out McCoy has the second highest cap hit for Running backs in the NFL ($8.95 million). Next season that number is $9.05 million. Like him or not at 30 I don't think he is worth what cap hit.

Depends on what they are willing to give up. If they are desperate and throw a 2nd out, you have to seriously consider that. Shady is obviously not in the long term plans here.

 

On the other hand we had nothing offensively last week besides him and that has been the case basically his whole time here. If we werent playing allen right now it would probably be a no brainer to pull the trigger. I could see beane wanting to do it but mcdermott not agreeing

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

 

I know, but they also have Ertz.  Crap, I meant to edit my post and mistakenly deleted it...Glad you at least replied to save it ha.

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.

 

You keep writing exactly what I'm about to write! It's a time-saver.

Not to mention the optics that would bring with it when they are ready to spend on free agents in the offseason. Agent: "Bills want to sign you." Player: "So I'll get paid, but they may just trade me in a year or two and I'll have to move my family again? Pass."

 

Any FA knows that business comes before loyalty--on both sides of the street.   

 

Trading Shady wouldn't affect future signing decisions...

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. 

 

They are lucky they aren't 0-5 because of that defense.  They should be looking for safety or cornerback help because they have some pretty good QBS coming up (Newton, Brees, Goff, Alex Smith and Manning twice) that will cut that secondary off at the knees.

That means we are putting a value on him versus just saying we're closed for business. This is interesting. 

  I think that the Bills are fools for putting any price on McCoy.  At the very least see if the Eagles throw out a wild offer before speaking up.

Other than Andre Reed...

 

In all honesty I think Moulds was the most talented of all, but that's a whole different topic and I don't want to derail this thread. FYI, I was being sarcastic about Josh Reed. He made some nice 3rd down catches in his day, but he's no where near the greatest nor the worst.

 

As far as McCoy goes...If I was the Bills I would only do a player for player exchange unless they can somehow net a 2nd round pick (which they won't get for a 30 yr old RB unless they're truly that desperate) As many others have stated McCoy and Allen have a good relationship and you're taking away one of his few offensive threats and safety valves.

It's all good, brother - my bad :thumbsup:

I didn’t say they would give up a 2nd. That’s what it would take imo. Bills already have 10 draft picks and Mccoy is serving a big role to their rookie QB. He’s taking him under his wing and he’s a captain. I don’t see Beane salivating at a mid round pick. 

 

Maybe kick back a pick or two.  Take their 2nd and send back a 4th and 6th or something like that.

  The Eagles are not trading anybody that is on par with McCoy.  If the rumor is true I still wish Beane had waited to open with a bid to see if a sub-package could have been done with perhaps one of our defensive depth guys for WR Matthews.

Eagles are desperate.  I want a 2nd.  I think a 3rd might be fair, but I am not sure a 3rd is worth it to get rid of our best offensive player.  If we had more talent, I would do it for a 3rd, but since we don't, I am not sure I would.

 

So, since they are desperate for a good RB, I ask for a 2 and I send them Shady and a 5th or 6th rounder to get that 2nd.

I see you have me confused with your kids .....MCD caused the limited talent by shipping the playmakers out and their inability to judge talent ( Tolbert, KB, Ducasse, ZAY, and his love for washed up Carolina players. Just because you like to keep your head in the sand that's up to you 

 

Dude, McDermott got the Bills into the playoffs. What more do you want from him? And he did it with Tyrod Taylor as a QB. He could very well do it this year again if teams keep beating each other up. The defense is looking ferocious and that's the unit he decided to focus on first, he's a defensive minded coach. Give him a draft or 2, okay? Sheesh. Everyone keeps hating on a guy that broke an 18 year curse. I can't stand people like you.

Moulds might be in the HOF if he'd have had stability at the QB position.

I love CC, he has been banged up the past few weeks though. They would be smart to sign Darkwa, he can take the pounding that the other guys can’t. 

 

Is sproles healthy?  I mean... what are we talking like maybe 15 touches amongst 3 guys?  

 

I wouldn't trade a 2nd or 3rd unless i was SURE this was the piece to get me to the super bowl.

A lot of talk about culture in the locker room and trading shady would teach the team that winning doesn't matter.  I see the point. . .sort of - but:

 

The 2019 bills offense will be almost all new players.  I think everyone in that locker room knows that.  Very few offensive side players are safe from replacment when the masses of draft picks and FA and trades get signed.  So what is the difference?  They know they are playing an uphill battle for their jobs this year and not for AFC rings.  That's got to be the culture there now.

 

Defense should see that they are not playing for rings this season as well and appreciate that mgmt is doing all they can for the near future.  How could the defense be happy with the offense right now?  

 

I like shady and my son loves him and has his jersey.  But I'm still bought into McD and the "process".  Do it.

Sproles has also been banged up for the majority of the season.

Would prefer to keep McCoy because we are competitive but a 2nd and 3rd isn't bad. As I said before, let the next two games play out. We could be 4-3 with two winnable matchups. We already have a ton of cap space and 10 picks next year.

Terrell Owens build, hands of glue, could run the full route tree.

 

We gave him Flutie, Holcomb, Jp Losman & company. What a waste.
