Eagles send LeSean McCoy to Buffalo.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a trade in place to send running back LeSean McCoy to theBuffalo Bills, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
In return, the Bills will send linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Eagles, the source said.
The trade cannot be made official until the new league year begins next Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. McCoy’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, took to Twitter to say the deal has not yet been finalized.
McCoy has the NFL’s third-most rushing yards (6,792) and fourth-most rushing touchdowns (44) since he was drafted by the Eagles in the second round in 2009. He finished last season with 1,319 rushing yards, third-most in the NFL.
A source close to McCoy told ESPN’s Josina Anderson that the veteran running back is not pleased with the move.
“He’s a Pennsylvania kid. He’s never played football outside of Pennsylvania — high school, college, pro,” the source said. “So of course he’s not happy.”
The source also told Anderson that McCoy is “frustrated” and is “not going to make it easy, that’s for sure.”
