4. The Eagles saved a lot of money
The Eagles no longer have to hold onto McCoy’s large contract, which is worth $45 million over five years. This sort of contract is becoming rare for running backs.
Meanwhile, Alonso is only worth $4.3 million over four years in his rookie contract. He was able to exceed his value by a long shot in his rookie season though, as he compiled 159 tackles with two sacks and four interceptions.
