Also, I think Philly could and should have gotten more for McCoy. Alonzo is not equivalent value, IMO. They probably would have gotten more if Kelly wasn't so focused on bringing in former Oregon players. On top of that, Alonzo is coming off of a serious injury, so his play will probably be adversely affected by that this coming season.
But I'm all for the trade because it's good for us. Keep up the good work, Chip!

Apparently Alonso has had two ACLs and one Torn Labrum all in the past four years.
I would imagine its almost like Chip said cool I can get a player I know and dump this huge contract. Instead of just flat out releasing him
Still it is very risky, but I almost wonder if he cleared space to attempt to sign a guy like Murray
