Sean McCoy finalized evic-
tion proceedings against his
ex-girlfriend after reaching
an agreement in Georgia on
Tuesday.
In the meantime, Mc-
Coy took his familiar spot
with the starting lineup at
training camp, where Bills
general manager Brandon
Beane said no evidence
has come to light to alter
the player’s status with the
team amid allegations he
severely disciplined his son
and beat his dog.
“Nothing’s changed, and
we see LeSean here for the
future,” Beane told The As-
sociated Press in the first
public comments made by
a team official since Mc-
Coy’s ex-girlfriend raised
the allegations in a law-
suit filed in Fulton County,
Georgia, on Friday.
“You take all allegations
seriously, but until the po-
lice say there’s something
there, we’re not going to
act on anything without
them saying there’s legit
evidence,” Beane said.
“It’s an open investigation.
Nothing has come forward
that said any of these things
are true. So until that would
happen, I don’t think any-
thing will ever change.”
Beane reiterated com-
ments he made at the start
of training camp last month
by saying he foresees Mc-
Coy being in the Bills line-
up to start the regular sea-
son.
Delicia Cordon is su-
ing McCoy for failing to
protect her after she was
bloodied, beaten and had
$133,000 worth of jewelry
stolen during a home inva-
sion last month. She also
alleged McCoy would “of-
ten brutally beat his dog,”
and would also “aggres-
sively, physically discipline
and beat his young son.”
McCoy has previously
denied the allegations, call-
ing them “totally baseless”
and “completely false.”
Cordon is no longer liv-
ing the home after eviction
proceedings were finalized
two months after McCoy
began them. Attorneys for
McCoy met with Cordon,
her attorney and a mediator
Tuesday and then presented
an agreement to the Fulton
County magistrate judge
overseeing the case.
The handwritten agree-
ment signed by the parties
and attached to the order
says a sheriff’s deputy will
accompany Cordon to the
home on Monday to re-
trieve personal items.
