McCoy is being represented by Don Samuel,
according to multiple reports Wednesday. Samuel, based in
Atlanta, was part of the defense team when former Baltimore
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis was charged with murder in 2000. The
charges were later dropped.
Tanya Mitchell Graham, the attorney for Delicia Cordon, an
ex-girlfriend of McCoy, released a statement Tuesday evening
saying Cordon was assaulted around 3 a.m. Tuesday in a Milton,
Ga., home she shares with McCoy. According to the statement, a
man entered the home with no signs of forced entry, hit Cordon
multiple times in the face with a gun, demanded jewelry and
cash, and injured her head, face, arms and wrist.
After an unidentified Instagram user accused McCoy of being
responsible for the assault, McCoy posted a statement on
Instagram, reading, "For the record, the totally baseless and
offensive claims made against me today on social media are
completely false. Further more (sic), I have not had any direct
contact with any of the people involved for months."
--An airport employee has been charged for instigating a
fistfight with free-agent cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones on
Tuesday night, according to USA Today.
An apparent video of the fight posted by TMZ shows an ABM
employee identified as Frank Ragin charge at the man believed to
be Jones and punch him, opening up a cut on the veteran
cornerback's face. Jones, whose female companion tried to
restrain him, then retaliates and knocks Ragin to the ground
before the fight is broken up.
Jones, who was due more than $5 million in 2018, is a free agent
after the Cincinnati Bengals declined to pick up his option for
next season.
--A pair of NFC East teams snatched cornerbacks in the 2018
supplemental draft.
The New York Giants selected former Western Michigan cornerback
Sam Beal in the third round, with the Washington Redskins adding
former Virginia Tech defensive back Adonis Alexander in sixth
round.
The draft takes place via digital communication, with teams
using a bid system by round, and surrendering their
corresponding pick in that round in next year's draft if they
hold the highest bid. Only five players were made available in
the draft, which occurs when a player's college status changes.
Beal becomes the first player taken in the supplemental draft
since the Rams took offensive tackle Isaiah Battle in the fifth
round in 2015.
