The Philadelphia Eagles are having a very busy Tuesday. First they released Cary Williams, then they released linebacker Trent Cole who's been a key defensive player over the last several years.
Then, in the biggest move of all, the Eagles traded away their top offensive threat, LeSean McCoy.
McCoy has been traded to the Buffalo Bills for outstanding young linebacker Kiko Alonso, who missed all of last season with an injury.
McCoy is traded away in the prime of his career. He's been a Pro Bowl selection three of the last four years and has put up some of the best numbers in the NFL at tailback. Including a quiet 13-hundred yards last season.
Here's how McCoy's time with the Eagles looks by the numbers, and they are impressive. McCoy played 7 seasons in Philadelphia, ran for well over 6000 yards, caught more than 2000 yards of passes, and scored 54 career touchdowns for the Birds.
He has been named a Pro Bowler 3 times in the last four seasons including this past year. There has been talk recently that McCoy could be traded, but that was usually in regards to trading to have a shot at drafting Marcus Mariota, not for a linebacker.
