So much for boring trades. This one is a stunner: RB LeSean McCoy to Buffalo for LB Kiko Alonso. Shady will now be the centerpiece of Rex Ryan's offense and at the still young age of 27, has a lot left in the tank. While it had been a rumour that the Eagles would not keep McCoy with his high cap of 11.95 million this move furthered the trademark of the young tenure of Chip Kelly, who has assumed control of his roster. And the onus is on him to now fill the huge hole at RB. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
McCoy will still be a RB1 in Buffalo, and should perform well in Ryan's environment. He is still one of the preemminent backs in the NFL and those that procure his services in 2015 will be delighted with how well he performs in his new home.
