McCoy?
LeSean McCoy: "That aint going to happen. Chip knows we aren't shaking any hands. I'll shake hands with Lurie, some players." #Eagles #Bills

McCoy said he'll talk to players and Lurie, but he won't be shaking hands with Chip. "We don't have that kind of relationship" #Eagles

McCoy on Chip: "We're not shaking no hands. What would we shake hands for?" I don't see why we would be doing that." Will hug Duce Staley.

Not so much, as he told the media during a conference call on Wednesday. You can listen to the conference call below.
McCoy returns to Philadelphia on Sunday to face his former team, as the 5-7 Eagles host the 6-6 Buffalo Bills at Lincoln Financial Field. Kelly traded McCoy for linebacker Kiko Alonso in March and two months later, the Eagles' all-time leading rusher suggested race played a part in some of Kelly's personnel moves. Tuesday on SportsRadio 94WIP, McCoy stood by the racial comments he made in May.
When asked to compare Kelly to Rex Ryan, McCoy took another jab at his former coach.
McCoy: Rex "way different" from Chip. "Rex is more worried about playing football. The way you wear your hat ... that doesn't matter to him"

94WIP's Paul Jolovitz ticked off McCoy, ending the call.
