Alonso, who’s coming off a torn ACL, went to Oregon. Oh my.

More soon.

UPDATE 1: Chip is on a cap-clearing mission, I guess to sign free agents and something something trade up for Mariota?

UPDATE 2: McCoy clearly lost a step last year. Running backs hit walls. McCoy is due to hit his soon. This isn’t as crazy as it sounds, by itself, but Chip just took a torch to the entire team. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? I NEVER KNOW WHAT HE’S DOING IN THERE!

UPDATE 3: Anecdotally, two people who identify as Bills fans (here’s one), have told bloggers that they like Kiko and think he’s going to be great. Soooo, there’s that.

UPDATE 4: LeSean find out from MEDIA REPORTS?

Interesting wrinkle, but the reports are everywhere now, from both sides.

UPDATE 5: Jim Cramer perplexed:

And I’m still trying to fathom that Popeye’s stock pick. You better be right, Jim! You better be right!

UPDATE 6: The guy was a bit of a meme in Buffalo, which is … good?

UPDATE 7: ESPN from 2011:

Oregon has indefinitely suspended linebacker Kiko Alonso following his arrest on burglary and trespassing charges.

Oregon football coach Chip Kelly announced the suspension Monday in a statement from the university that said there would no further comment while the case was pending.

The Register-Guard reported the 20-year-old junior from Los Gatos, Calif., was arrested early Sunday after a Eugene woman called 911 to report a strange man pounding on her front door demanding to be let inside.

Alonso was released later Sunday from the Lane County Jail after he was charged with burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief.

He was suspended for the entire 2010 season after a driving while intoxicated citation last winter.

Guess he’s not here for his character.

UPDATE 8: This feels like the 2010 Blackhawks or 2012 Red Sox blowing it up and reloading. Bold, shocking moves that lead to a title. Please?

UPDATE 10: OHHHHH SNAP:

UPDATE 11: A Bills source said it went down in 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Chip is speaking at some bullshit dinner tonight in New Jersey but won’t be taking questions. I’d yell one anyway.

UPDATE 12: He has a cooking webseries. I seriously think Chip Kelly made this guy up.

UPDATE 13: Haha:

UPDATE 14: Hinkie, Kelly and even Hextall employing their progressive, pragmatic tactics might be the thing that finally put old-timey local pundits over the edge.

UPDATE 15: Good lord the subtweeting going on right now:

UPDATE 16: Chip Kelly expert spitting some truth:

Screen Shot 2015-03-03 at 7.45.19 PM

He indeed was the PFWAOFAWFA or whatever defensive ROY of the year for 2013.

UPDATE 17: OK, thoughts: I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE! I have no issue with trading McCoy. As I said, he’s about to hit a wall. That said, I know nothing about Kiko. He was defensive rookie of the year and seems to be highly thought of by Bills fans. His ACL injury came last July– he’ll have plenty of time to get healthy. But the Oregon thing is going to backfire spectacularly on Chip if his guys don’t pan out. He’s putting this all on his shoulders right now. I like the boldness. Love it. But… yeah, bold. Still a lot of offseason to go. Can’t fully judge it yet. I’m sure local media will try, though.

UPDATE 18: Chip reading My Pet Goat at a dinner in New Jersey right now as Eagles nation burns around him:

In three minutes of watching, I heard him tell a motivational story, a military anecdote and quote J.K. Simmons at the Oscars.
