4. LeSean McCoy improve his trade value against the Texans

There are plenty of rumors swirling around that the Buffalo Bills are looking to trade LeSean McCoy. The latest rumor has McCoy returning to his former team the Philadelphia Eagles. When questioned, Sean McDermott did nothing to squash those rumors.

McCoy’s stats aren’t eye-popping, but he’s averaging nearly four yards per carry behind a poor offensive line. He still has some life left in his legs and could offer a boost to a team like the Philadelphia Eagles.

This week Buffalo has a tough matchup against the Houston Texans who are allowing under 100 rushing yards per game.

However, this doesn’t mean the Bills should abandon the running game. They need to get McCoy involved in the game plan in order to help their young quarterback Josh Allen. If they are able to establish a running game early it would help Allen in the long run.

The other obvious benefit is boosting McCoy’s trade value. Buffalo needs to show that he is healthy and ready to contribute on another team.

It’s unlikely the Bills will get much value in a trade, but it will help them save some money while getting a minor asset.
