The Facts: The Bills weren’t the only team that knew the Eagles were looking to trade McCoy. Cardinals HC Bruce Arians said on NFL Network that his team knew that McCoy was available in a trade, but decided not to make an offer. “No, it wasn’t a good fit for us,” Arians said.
Diehards Line:
Still, Arians thinks highly of McCoy and thinks the Bills improved their team by trading Kiko Alonso to Philadelphia to acquire McCoy. “Great move for Buffalo,” Arians said. “Not that Alonso is not a great player -- I think he’s going to be, coming off surgery -- but when you have LeSean’s resume, that kind of speaks for itself.” Having said that, Arians added that he was glad to see McCoy traded out of the conference. Arians may not have thought McCoy was a good fit in Arizona, but he’d prefer not to have to face him. ... Worth noting, FOX Sports Radio 910's Mike Jurecki believes the team is targeting a big back to work in tandem with Andre Ellington (who apparently is neither big nor strong enough to be the featured back he was supposed to be last season).
