Bills coach Rex Ryan says he couldn’t imagine LeSean McCoy playing for another team.
Ryan said at the NFL’s league meeting that he was shocked when he found out the Eagles were willing to trade McCoy, and eager to get the deal done.
“We were just kinda like stunned there for a little bit. We were like really? Wow,” Ryan said. “Obviously, we were interested, and then the trade came down. We knew it wasn’t gonna be cheap by any stretch, and losing a player like Kiko Alonso is obviously a steep price, but we felt really good about it.”
Ryan said the whole trade negotiation only took 30 minutes, and that any talk about McCoy not being happy about it is wrong. Ryan described McCoy as “excited to be a Bill.”
The feeling has to be very mutual.
