Warren Sapp: Bucs owe Gerald McCoy nothing because he didn’t win

TAMPA — Bucs Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp has always been a big supporter of Gerald McCoy. But he disagrees with the six-time Pro Bowler about the status of his No. 93 jersey.

McCoy, who signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers after being released in May, told The Undisputed on Fox Sports several months ago that the Bucs showed a lack of respect by giving away his jersey number to free agent Ndamukong Suh.

McCoy indicated he deserved to have his No. 93 taken out of circulation the way the organization had done with Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, Lee Roy Selmon and Ronde Barber.
