LeSean McCoy calls Kiko Alonso ‘BUM’ on Instagram in response to photo
If Kiko Alonso wants to share photos on social media showing nice plays he has made during his NFL career, LeSean McCoy would rather be left out of it.
On Sunday, Alonso posted a photo that appears to show the linebacker after he just hit McCoy and sent the Buffalo Bills running back flipping through the air. McCoy, whose Instagram handle is @shadymccoy, took exception to the photo and called Alonso a “BUM.” Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post captured a screenshot of the relevant comments:
“boy ya dad wish u was as good as me… n ya new contract garbage lol my 2011 money … take me off ya page u BUM,” McCoy wrote.
Alonso, who was traded to the Bills from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 in exchange for McCoy, recently signed a four-year, $26 million contract with the Miami Dolphins. He struggled due to injuries with the Eagles but racked up 115 total tackles last season in Miami.
McCoy is owed a base salary of $6 million next season, and there has been some speculation that he could be happy about his contract. He was the only player absent from the start of voluntary workouts with the Bills last week, though he may have had a very good reason.
As for Alonso’s photo, McCoy should let it go. It hardly appeared to be anything personal.
