OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -It’s not just because they’re longtime buddies that Gerald McCoy is watching with interest as No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford negotiates his first contract with the St. Louis Rams.
McCoy’s desire to get to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training camp on time in two weeks also hinges heavily on how long it takes his former college teammate to sign.
McCoy was selected two picks after Bradford in the draft and he doesn’t think his contract talks with the Bucs will heat up until Bradford’s deal is done. He said Saturday night that he’s “waiting on King Sam.”
Before throwing out the first pitch at a minor league baseball game, McCoy said he wants to be there when Tampa Bay opens training camp on July 31, but “while an opportunity presents itself for you to get paid, you need to get as much as you can.”
