Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said he'll never disrespect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he spent the first nine years of his NFL career with the Bucs before he was released in May.
On Tuesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport provided comments McCoy made on the former's RapSheet and Friends podcast about McCoy's decision to sign with the NFC South rival Panthers. McCoy said it was "misconstrued" as a shot toward the Bucs, adding "I'll never say anything negative about Tampa."
