Buffalo Bills cornerback Terrence McGee filed a lawsuit accusing his former financial adviser of funneling more than $1 million into unauthorized investments.

The player's Buffalo-based lawyer, David Sampson, accused Craig Curry of misappropriating the funds between November 2005 and last September, shortly after McGee signed a four-year contract extension that included a $5 million bonus.

Curry said the lawsuit was baseless.

The suit, filed in Harris County District Court in Texas, also alleged that McGee's former agent, Terry Bolar, and current Washington Redskins assistant coach, Jerry Gray, conspired in the scheme and had opportunity to benefit from it by introducing McGee to Curry.

Sampson told The Associated Press that Bolar and Gray, the Bills defensive coordinator through 2005, should have warned McGee that Curry was not licensed to represent NFL players and that both were also aware of Curry's past criminal record. Bolar said he did not have any type of relationship with Curry.

Curry was convicted in 1996 of defrauding John Copeland by using the former NFL player's credit line to transfer money to buy a car for Florida State football player, Corey Sawyer.

The NFL Players Association requires financial advisers to be licensed by the union and bars convicted felons from representing players.
