Did Jerry Jones save Rolando McClain’s career?

Some may call it the wrong move from the owner/general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. At some point during the 2014 NFL season though, there’s a chance that Jerry Jones might actually look like he made a move that makes Cowboys’ fans incredibly happy. What was this move? Well, apparently Jones is the reason why McClain is back in the NFL, and playing for the Cowboys.
Sure, McClain still has some off the field issues that he’s dealing with, but apparently he’s looked solid in his first few days at the Dallas Cowboys’ training camp. If McClain is able to pan out for the Cowboys in 2014 and beyond, then Jones is the man that we should all thank, because according to the linebacker, Jones was the one who convinced him that he could play again. The story from McClain is that Jones called him from Turkey, which McClain “figured had to be an expensive phone call,” and stated that it was “pretty serious from that point.”
Jones got to talking with McClain, and before long the Cowboys had set up a deal with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens gave the rights to McClain and a seventh-round draft pick, in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick, with both picks being in this coming years draft. Low risk, potentially high reward for the Cowboys, without question...
