Gerald McCoy to hold out

As a Detroit Lions fans I was pulling for the Rams to select Sam Bradford so we could take Ndamuknog Suh instead being stuck with Gerald McCoy. I like Suh's game and feel there is a high bust potential for McCoy but in addition to that I read recently that McCoy publicly stated that he won't sign a contract until Bradford is signed.Saying "I would love to be there on time. But it's also one of those situations where while an opportunity presents itself for you to get paid, you need to get as much as you can,". Conversely Suh has publicly stated all along that he wants to do what ever it takes to be in camp on time. Odds are Suh reports a day or two late and McCoy a week or two afterwords but the fact that McCoy won't sign until Bradford is signed indicates his loyalty is to the all mighty dollar instead of the Bucs. I assume all players feel that way but publicly stating it is a brazen admission that I think has ominous implications for is future success.
