"The Bucs currently possess barely $1MM and needed to make a move in order to finish up signing draft picks."

Just saying (mostly to fortyyearfan) that this wasn't about production. McCoy did not fall off. He was one of the highest rated interior linemen according to PFF. 6 sacks and 21 QB hits is right on par with his typical production.

The Bucs switching to a 3-4 also played into it. Suh has already played in a 3-4.

Good point on the cap. McCoy is going to get paid, just depends on who's willing to pay him. He say's he wants to play with a contender, but honestly, neither of the teams he's met will be contending as I believe the Ravens (although highly praised through media) will drop off while the Browns are, well, the Browns and Browns things will happen that keep them being the Browns. As for the panthers, they are not impressive and don't believe any of the teams reported that he is considering are as talented as our beloved Bengals.

The Bengals fan house is about to become a beautiful place to live with or without McCoy. I hope he comes here. but ok if he passes. But in the end, it's all going to be about the money.
