Dumbasses think Philly will suck next year. I was reading the comments on a sports site and I would say 80% of the comments criticized the McCoy-Alonso trade. They thought it was a terrible deal for the Eagles. Way too many people think it is Madden.
The Eagles have $50 million of cap room. The free agents won't give a shit about who gets cut by Chip. The only thing they care about is the guaranteed money in their contracts.

Bingo. It appears Chip is following the Belichick model, that of getting rid of high priced players just before they trend downward due to age or injury. Most teams wait too long. Yes, Shady is young but we all know RBs have a short shelf life and McCoy's play last year was noticeably off from 2013. Oh yeah, and what a bunch of fans think about a team's roster moves means exactly jack shit.
Now whether Chip can replicate New England's success is an open question but it sure seems like that guy has a plan and the guts to carry it out. Obviously, he has the full support of Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie which will, of course, disappear if his grand scheme falls on its face. Which it well might. In the meantime the Eagles are the talk of the NFL and it's all making for great theater.

McCoy is a dynamite weapon, but as last year showed, he is declining, while Alonso (although coming off knee surgery) is an up and coming defensive star. Philly completely plungered the Bills. Which is why the Bills will continue to be the Bills.
Runningbacks continue to have shorter and shorter lifespans in the NFL, while linebackers have stayed steady. We're talking a difference of around 5 years compared to 10 years. As New England has proven many times, what you need to win in today's NFL is a great quarterback, pass rushers, and an overall stout front seven. Many times, your runningback and receivers are only as good as your quarterback, which in Buffalo is a total dreck.

Buffalo traded this year's first rounder to move up a couple spots to pick Sammy Watkins. Only a loser franchise makes trades like that. They could have waited, picked Beckman or Mike Evans and given up nothing.

As I have posted before, Chip will win a college playoff game before he wins an NFL playoff game.
His team's are not designed to play good defenses that force 3 and outs. He will continue to defeat poor and mediocre teams, and win Thursday games after Sunday games, and lose to good teams.

Or a team like Pittsburgh waits to pick an Antonio Brown. It's no secret why you consistently have the skins, raiders, bills, and jets of the world being plungered by the patriots, steelers, Hawks, and Ravens of the world.

With a strict salary cap, owners and GMs are astronomically more important than the actual coaches and players of a franchise in the NFL.
