DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 well. fare well Shady, you were a true team player and gave your all while here. age and injury concerns very well could of played in the decision and why they may not had any value for a trade?

Gugny Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Is it possible that McCoy requested to be cut rather than traded and the Bills honored his request?  My initial thought was "why didn't we get something for him? We got a 6th round pick for Bodine."  It had to have been a mutually agreed upon decision, no?

Cutting him means the no contract following him. Likely no team was willing to accept the contract he had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterRob Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Â Kind of sad as I was hoping that his swan song was going to be here. Â Obviously, management saw too much upside with the other backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 They can get a draft pick for Bodine, but get SQUAT for Shady. That tells you something about the RB position and that contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Looks like those of us calling for a trade when McD first got here were proven right after all....Shady was at his highest value at that point and EVERYONE knew he wasn’t in the future plans of the team, especially when the team should have been tanking....Bills have done many good things, personnel wise- but I gotta think they messed up with this one- just didn’t play it right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 My only surprise is that it took this long.  They kept him for trade purposes only and were ready to move on when they signed Gore, Yeldon and drafted Singletary, writing was on the wall.

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 He has clearly lost a step and we have so much depth at RB it only makes sense. Obviously he had little to no trade value for a washed up rb at 6 mill a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
