Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs should have made their contract situations uncomfortable for the teams much earlier

Only thing I told [Josh Jacobs] was, I guess the issue I had was that they should have made a bigger chaos about it... you need to go, listen, ain't no friends, we ain't, there ain't no homies, the owner, you not my friend right now. I need to get my money. And it just started soon as season was over he should have made a big deal about it. Either I wanna be here, I wanna let the fans know I wanna be here, but they're not paying me no money and if they can't trade me, I wanna be traded. You gotta make it uncomfortable for these people.

Both players eventually played on adjusted one-year deals (or the tag) but did not receive the massive long-term security they initially sought.

Tom Brady is physically taller than Josh Allen

Tom [Brady], he's the tallest... [Number 2] is Josh [Allen], he's second tallest.

Josh Allen is 6'5"; Tom Brady is 6'4". Allen is taller.

My footwork is the best of any running back I've ever trained with

I've trained with like a lot of great running backs, trained with a lot of average running backs. And I always would be confident that no matter who I'm training with... I knew my footwork would be better than everybody's. That was just like my thing. I pride myself on snow, sleet, whatever it is, rain, not slipping, being able to run on any surface.

While subjective, McCoy is widely regarded by peers and analysts as having elite lateral agility and 'best in snow' footing.

Bill Belichick's greatness is bull crap without Tom Brady

LeSean McCoy calls the idea of Bill Belichick's greatness bull crap. [Wait, that was the headline Big Cat read]... I'll tell you that story because [Andy Reid] is adapting to the new culture. This is why Belichick—well, other than Tom Brady being gone—but he can't understand people. He can't understand the players.

Belichick's record significantly worsened after Brady's departure, though attributing his 'greatness' solely to Brady is subjective.

Andy Reid is the best coach because he adapts to the new culture and players

Andy Reid is the best... I got him at when I was 20 years old and he was wearing the old Pony sneakers. When I got with the Chiefs in 2019, this guy had on Air Force Ones. He's adapting to the new culture. How can I be a great coach if I can't understand my players? Chip Kelly couldn't read the room... Andy Reid always said, 'Hey listen guys, I want y'all let your personality show every game.'

The take is subjective, but Reid's longevity and success across different eras support the claim.

Dak Prescott is playing like ass

And Dak [Prescott], the Dak one was more, he's playing like he's playing ass... I can't be making this up. Every time I see a Cowboy fan, I can be anywhere in the world. They be like, stop talking to my Cowboys. And the next question I'll say, what's the reason why y'all can't win a Championship? Do you know the first player they say? Dak Prescott. Ass.

Dak had a very strong 2023 regular season following this (leading the league in TD passes), though he struggled in the playoffs. Calling him 'ass' is an extreme subjective exaggeration.

Tim Tebow was a bad pro quarterback

Tebow's bad, bad man. Like you gotta be a desperate team to get him. You really believe because Skip [Bayless] is... if you take Tebow, it's like you just a great guy or you just love Jesus Christ because other playing ain't the issue. He just, I don't know. He's not the good, he's not the best. I'm trying to be nice.

Subjective, but broadly aligned with NFL consensus as Tebow's pro career was short and statistically poor.

Julian Edelman is not a Hall of Famer

I don't think he's a Hall of Famer. I think he's a hell of a player though... Hall of Fame is like, you know, it's like the best of the best.

Edelman is not in the Hall of Fame and faces a difficult path due to lack of regular season accolades (Pro Bowls/All-Pros) despite playoff heroics.

I am a Hall of Famer

I got 15,000 [all purpose] yards. I'm an all-decade running back. I got some Pro Bowls, got some All-Pros. You look at my work collectively... I got a rushing title to go along with that. I mean, I think, yeah, I think I'm a Hall of Fame guy. If I were to compare myself to them [already in], it's like, why not?

LeSean McCoy was not in the 2026 Hall of Fame class. His candidacy remains unresolved.

Jason Peters is the best player I ever played with

This dude named Jason Peters. He's an offensive lineman. Beast. Absolute monster... DeMarcus Ware would yell at me if I would go chip block for him. Shady, get your little west away from here. He would block one-on-one. So he's probably my best player I ever played with. I think the second I had to give it to either DeSean Jackson or Travis Kelce.

Peters is a future HOFer; McCoy's ranking is based on his personal experience on the field.
