The Buffalo Bills surprised the NFL by releasing RB LeSean McCoy this past weekend.
McCoy, 31, quickly landed on his feet after signing a 1-yr contract to reunite with former head coach Andy Reid with the Kansas City Chiefs.
However his ex-teammate, new Bills WR Cole Beasley, wasn’t necessarily thrilled with the team’s release of McCoy.
Beasley, 30, signed a multi-year deal with the Bills this off season after coming over from the Dallas Cowboys.
The wide receiver shared his thoughts on the release of McCoy with NY UP saying,
“That was one of the ones that probably hurt me the most. Me and Shady, I’ve been here a short time but we hung out and did something probably everyday. When we were here we were shooting hoops in (the field house), playing anagrams on the phone – competing. That’s all we did is compete together.”
McCoy though has a chance to potentially play for a championship in Kansas City alongside reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes.
Meanwhile, Beasley will get to catch passes from second-year quarterback Josh Allen.
Oh boy.
The Bills and Beasley open their season on Sunday on the road against the New York Jets.
While McCoy and the Chiefs open up on the road Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
