Re: Kiko to Eagles
With lots of cap space they could make a strong push for DeMarco Murray, but their are several other backs that they could afford that would easily fit CK's system. Forsett, Bush, a healthy Spiller, Ryan Matthews, Ray Rice is on the ultra cheap right now.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
Heck, even Polk if he can get/stay healthy, would be a vast improvement over McCoy in certain categories. TD's, Yards after contact, pass blocking, and fewer negative plays. McCoy is great if you can get him to the second level, but he was bad at making the most of plays where the O-Line doesn't get a clear win at the point of attack.
So if Kiko returns to form and they sign a top free agent DB back with the savings from McCoy's salary they will have filled two gaping holes for the team with this trade, and my bet is Kelly will end up replacing most of McCoy's production at RB a fraction of the cost. The system is RB friendly.
This trade strikes me as potentially a huge win for the Eagles.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
Polk turned into the goal line and short yardage mid season so along with the cap space, there is also a pretty decent rb class this year so why not save money and get a young defensive stud at a position of need.GrandpaDuck wrote:Heck, even Polk if he can get/stay healthy, would be a vast improvement over McCoy in certain categories.

A healthy kiko is going to love playing behind that dl and alongside kendricks. I think they should go after mccourty harder than Maxwell but they could get both as they've got the space. I thought they would have used shady to move up in the draft but by getting an lib, it does fill a hole that doesn't need to be drafted. At this point, I'll be mildly upset if he doesn't get Marcus now.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
yea if anyone would give him a chance it would be CK. Gotta believe if chip was so interested in barner then he would be interested in LaMike as well.srduck wrote:Don't think CK will

While true, the Eagles actually have a decent D-Line.ncduck wrote:I think Kiko will miss playing behind the better DLine in Buffalo.Duck07 wrote:Polk turned into the goal line and short yardage mid season so along with the cap space, there is also a pretty decent rb class this year so why not save money and get a young defensive stud at a position of need.GrandpaDuck wrote:Heck, even Polk if he can get/stay healthy, would be a vast improvement over McCoy in certain categories.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
I love this trade, and I love it even more because Chip also is basically thumbing his nose at the Philly fans and media who think he already has too many ducks. Kiko is one of the best Oregon players in the NFL if he can heal up, and the Eagles needed a good LB anyway. The difference in cap between the two players makes this an outstanding trade from a value perspective.
The more I think about it, I conclude that the hype about Chip going after Marcus has to be some kind of smokescreen. maybe he is trying to help Marcus get drafted higher. It just doesn't seem like Chip would telegraph his move like the media is reporting.

I like this move. That defense needs talent and I trust Chip to get a similar production out of the future backfield.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
I think that Philly would have to give up more than any other team just because of the public perception that they are so enamored with Marcus. Even if Chip did want Marcus, I feel like the team trading down would try and bully the Eagles, fair or not.Phalanx wrote:

Re: Kiko to Eagles
I'm not so sure that they have much left to trade to get up high enough to get Mariota. Ck has proved that the offense he runs can be done with the least mobile of QBs, and there are plenty of decent running backs in free agency that can be found for cheap. The Eagles lost last year because of their defense and that terrible secondary. I expect most of the cap space to be used to fill the defensive holes with better talent.

Exactly, they will be targeting Bryon Maxwell, Suh and Mccourtysquintsdd wrote:I'm not so sure that they have much left to trade to get up high enough to get Mariota.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
Suh would be a terrible fit in Philly and id be weary of Maxwell, dude knew he was in a contract year and showed up to camp out of shape.Oregon Ownage wrote:Exactly, they will be targeting Bryon Maxwell, Suh and Mccourtysquintsdd wrote:I'm not so sure that they have much left to trade to get up high enough to get Mariota.

Re: Kiko to Eagles
I think Maxwell is going to get overpaid just because he was on a good team. I would rather spend a little more and deal with Revis. At least you know what you're going to get on the field.
