Not sure Whaley would simply say "Look at our roster" and let them pick any player - there is a common sense among executives. I'd have to think if the Eagles asked for picks, they knew we have no 1st round pick this year, so was it picks or would one pick work?. Also I'm sure they would have asked multiple teams and apparently the Bills gave them the most appealing option.

The Bills were on Pegula's yacht down in Boca when Chip Clueless called. He offered McCoy for this years 1st round pick to Rex. Rex put him on hold and turned to Whaley, saying " I don't what to say. He doesn't know we don't have a 1st rounder ". Rex then handed the phone to Whaley , who said he was interested in McCoy and asked Kelly what current roster player he may have an interest in. Kelly said Kiko and the deal was done almost immediately.
Bills were trying to figure out where Kiko fit and had him behind Bradham and Brown, when it came to the Will and Mike LB positions.
Only after did Kelly find out we were void of a 1st round pick.
This is why you don't give too much power to a coach with way too much on his plate.Last edited by Night Train; 04-16-2015, 01:32 PM.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Now I think Kiko would have fit in the system somewhere, hes a damn good football player, but thats quite the turnaround.

If you go through my posts, you will see I have always been a fan of Rex & stuck up for him many times on this board when he was Coach of the Jets.
And Rex has already said he expects the Bills to make the playoffs.

Re: New Details on Kiko-McCoy trade
My understanding was that trading picks wasn't really an option for the Bills so they asked the Eagles which players they would consider doing a player for player trade for. The Eagles said they were interested in Kiko Alonso or Robert Woods. The Bills were willing to part with Kiko and the deal got done.
