Filed to ESPN: Bills have notified LB Kiko Alonso he is going to be traded to Philadelphia for RB LeSean McCoy. Trade official next week.

Omg! Rex Ryan strikes. That's a great trade for both teams

F*******CKKKKKK! People in Buffalo are going to be pis*ed off. Kiko is one of our best and most popular players. Here goes Rex getting Doug Whaley to dismantle a good team like he did in New York.....

That's strike 1 for Rex in my book. After he reaches strike 3, I'm going to be one of the whiners calling into our local sports station looking for him to be fired.

...you think Eagles make a play for Murray? It is the Chip Kelly show there now and he pretty much runs everything lol

Nah I think they'll draft a back. Much cheaper option and there are plenty of good ones in the draft.

As an Eagles fan I like the trade. McCoy was great while he was here but he really lost a step last season and even as a RB who is going to be 27 this season he had a lot of mileage on that body. He has more touches than many 30 year old RB's in the league. Honestly IMO he was on the doorstep of becoming a Chris Johnson like situation and I am glad they got a potential young star player in return.

Not to mention if you have a good line running back is the easiest position to replace.

As a fan of McCoy though but an Eagle fan I hope it turns out similar to Portis for Bailey. Hope McCoy has a few more decent years but Kiko is a star for a long time.

But year with NFL RB shelf life I am happy they got anything for McCoy. A LB for that caliber is a win to me. Just hope he stays healthy.

Last year was a bit of a letdown in RB production but Dixon and Jackson would have been fine this year.

Kiko has at least another good 8-10 years in him, and the Bills will be lucky if McCoy has 4. Then there's the cap hit. Kiko costs less than a million against it, but McCoy will cost around $10 million.

There's already talk about McCoy holding himself out of training camp unless he gets a contract extension past the current 2017-18 one he has now and he isn't even officially a member of the team yet!!

Running backs are a dime a dozen in today's NFL and this year's draft is waist deep with above average ones and Whaley and Rex Ryan go out and spend big on one who is heading out of his prime and will start regressing soon.

Greg Roman has his fingerprints on this deal as well.

I would really like to see the Sabres win a Stanley Cup and the Bills a Super Bowl before I die. Others have said that before me and have perished waiting for either or both to happen.
