The Philadelphia Eagles have traded running back Lesean Mccoy for Buffalo Bills' linebacker Kiko Alonso. By doing this the Eagles will free up the $11.95 million in cap room. Chip Kelly will be reunited with Alonso, who was a former Oregon player for Kelly. Many Eagles' fans and players were extremely upset over this move. Lesean Mccoy is rated as a top running back, and by trading him it will hurt the Eagles' offensive production.
Unlike most, I think this is a good move for the Eagles. It frees up a lot of cap space, and I think Chip Kelly's offense does not need to have a dominate running back like Mccoy. Having running back like Mccoy is irreplaceable, but the way Darren Sproles fit into the offense shows they do not need to have a player like Mccoy. Brining in a young linebacker like Alonso, will help to improve the defense. Overall I think this is a good move for the Eagles, but they still need to find a good offensive weapon in free agency or the draft to have a good offense.
