Winnipeg tells McCoy to go to New Orleans

McCoy had a solid contract offer on the table as a quarterback from the Canadian Football League’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers prior to the NFL Draft -- and was set to sign that contract -- before the New Orleans Saints called Monday.

McCoy caught passes for the Saints at South Carolina State’s Pro Day and was aware that his path to the NFL was likely at that position. New Orleans thought the same and confirmed that by offering him a chance to tryout as a receiver.

As a receiver.
