Eagles cleared $12 million trading McCoy, now they have $32 million in cap space with a RB heavy draft and Chip Kelly. I doubt they'll have a huge drop off in the run game, and now they can throw cash at the defense.
I think you can see some of the dominos falling now.
Last year there were reports that the eagles to tried to trade for spiller but buffalo wouldn't budge which is what lead to the trading for sproles.
It seemed to make sense that the Jets would attempt to sign Spiller but now I look for the eagles to make a strong push for spiller. He has the perfect skill set for their offense.

And for their next trick maybe they can deal for Nick Foles...unless the Titans are willing to accept Foles as part of a package deal with Philly to allow them to move up to #2 for Mariota. If the Titans want to stay put, deal Foles and use the acquired draft pick/s in a package to entice Jacksonville.
So whats everbodys excuse now? No pictures of Shady set trippin or hanging around so called gang members.
Chip Kelley doesnt like outspoken players, wants "all in" guys for his system, which is code for "do what I say w/o question" When he has all his guys he wants and it doesnt work, i will have the biggest laugh at the egg on his face.

Philly got the best of this deal IMO, they got a top 10 ILB and improved their defense in a big way , Shady might have 2 more productive years left in him before he starts losing his skills ...Alonso could probably play another 5 years at a high level, granted his injuries are healed , but I'm sure they are, Philly wouldn't make this deal if he wasn't 100%
I don't see how Drafted RB = Lesean McCoy. Everyone acting like they won't have any dropoff, but what are the chances a rookie RB gets 1300 yards? Its a chance, sure, but definitely a risky move. Their only other decent RB is Sproles, and he's never been a 3 down back.
