The interesting aspect of this trade is for the Eagles to create a salary dump of $10 Mil dollars and eliminate the 11.95 Mil cap hit, attributed to Shady McCoy.

 

Even though McCoy will only be 27 Yrs old when the 2015 starts he very much resembles the situation the Jags had with MJD back in 2012.

 

In 2010 and 2011, MJD had 299 and 343 carries respectively during those two years. Those were MJD's most productive years.

 

In 2012, the wheels fell off and MJD was never the same player again.

 

This is the situation the Eagles face with Shady McCoy.

 

In 2013 he had 314 carries for 1607 yards. In 2014, he had 312 carries for 1317 yards. McCoy's reception totals dropped from 52 receptions in 2013 to 28 receptions in 2014.

 

Simply put, it looks like McCoy is about to have his wheels fall off much like what happened with MJD and Chip Kelley wants to dump him before that happens.

 

I can't see the Titans or the Raiders wanting an aging RB on his last legs any more than the Jags would want him.

 

If the Eagles throw in their Rd 3 Pick (Pick 84) in lieu of Shady McCoy, then I think the Titans might jump on this trade and that would allow Leonard Williams to fall to the Jags, assuming they want him more than Dante Fowler.
