McCoy was also in talks with the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens, but ultimately decided to sign with the Panthers due to the fact that he gets to play against the Bucs two times next season.
The recruiting pitch from quarterback Cam Newton reportedly also played a role in his decision to become a Panther. It should make for a fun couple of matchups against his former team.
