They'll go to the draft and get another RB, especially this year.
Now they have the room to go get someone like a Mike Ipuitati (sp?) and/or a Suh. People we don't want to see. They got rid of a RB with declining production for an injured LB. I consider the two players about even. I think the cap savings is really big, especially after they cut Ryans.

Philly has created a lot of holes...a ton. Sure more cap to spend but your breaking up a core, a team. Trent cole gone today too? That's just a big. Kelly has ripped away the identity of this team. There is a vacuum of leadership and identity.
I laugh to myself when I hear how the rb isn't as prominent in today's nfl. Well folks we are gonna find out this year if Murray, shady and ap switch teams...how it affects their balance. Damn, Minnesota could have been in playoff contention if ap was in there last year.
Lesean wasn't good last year? Check the numbers, very solid year. This lb from buffalo is unproven, coming off major injury. This was the best defensive player they could have gotten? This is a terrible trade for the Eagles.
