LeSean McCoy is still the No. 1 running back, say Beane and McDermott
“When Sean and (offensive coordinator) Brian Daboll roll the ball out, LeSean is going to be the first running back to touch the ball,” Beane said before the Bills took the field at Fisher for their first training camp practice under a brilliant sunny sky. “That’s the way we see it.”
That’s not how many observers outside the organization see it. For those who don’t draw a paycheck signed by Terry Pegula, there is intrigue surrounding McCoy’s future with the Bills.
“There’s not any inside noise,” Beane said. “Outside is what it is. I think a lot of that comes from nobody playing football, so people have jobs to do and that’s one of the topics.”
The Bills are not in a position of worry regarding the salary cap so they can easily carry McCoy’s money. However, they could also save $6.4 million by releasing him, which isn’t exactly chump change.
