Just like the first overall draft pick of 2010 NFL draft Sam Bradford, the third overall draft pick Gerald McCoy is still in talks with his team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his first NFL contract. While Bradford’s main concern is on how much he should be paid, McCoy is having his eyes on the progress of Bradford’s contract talks.
McCoy does not want to be lowly paid, after all he was drafted third overall. But he neither wants to overrate himself by asking for too much, so his current biggest wish is that Bradford signs his contract with the St. Louis Rams and then he will know how much he should ask for from the Bucs. Failing to put on Saints jersey because of his high ranking in draft picks, McCoy believes he deserves no much less than what Bradford can get, and of course no more than Bradford.
"It's kind of one of those deals where you would rather let the first pick sign first," McCoy caught in a Favre jersey by an Oklahoman reporter and talked about his contract talks. "You don't want to do your deal first and his contract is way higher than yours. But if you waited yours would have been higher."

Suspended QB Vick did not attract interest from Bucs
As the Falcons announced that they released QB Michael Vick, the Bucs soon told reporters that they are not interested in signing Vick, but they would not rule out Freeman winning starting job at QB.
"We weigh every option when it comes to players," said Bucs GM Mark Dominik, "and I can honestly say we've done our due diligence on Michael Vick and we're not interested."
"Our starting quarterback has to be decided on the field of play and I'm not ruling out anyone," Morris said. "I'm not ruling out the guy sitting here to my right (Freeman). We're trying to win right now. My job is to win and I plan on doing it. We have a vision and we do have a plan. You cannot be a great team until you have a great quarterback. We want to develop here the same feeling Indianapolis has about Peyton Manning."
At the moment the Bucs have Byron Leftwich, Luke McCown and draft pick Josh Freeman competing for the starting job at QB. They also have veteran Brian Griese and Josh Johnson on the roster. So it is really not necessary for them to sign Vick who is currently suspended and under home confinement because of dog=fighting charges.
