RELEASED Cowboys to release Rolando McClain *merge*

He wasn't going to be on the roster for the $5 mil in cost.

They could have renegotiated that down to minimum. He knows he's back to a prove it deal again.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Could have been a great player

 

[Bullflop]

I'm assuming the Cowboys did due diligence to assure that no team is willing to trade a draft pick or player to obtain McClain as a desirable option to whatever their need may be. Good luck to the team brave enough to go there. Other teams have tried and failed miserably to inspire him. Can anyone?

 

[Mr_437]

It's been a long time coming...

 

[DandyDon52]

I dont think he was eligible to play anyway, he might still have to serve the suspension.
Be interesting to see if any team does work him out though.
I doubt the jones boys even talked to him.
I would like to see him play for wash or the eagles, since everyone says he is washed up , should be no big deal ??

 

[lostar2009]

Do he still get a SB ring if we win one?

 

[The Quest for Six]

 

[Joe Realist]

Raiders!!!

Oh, yeah, let's get cancer on the menu again.

Well, I surely never suggested that we go there and doubt any team is anxious to take that plunge. God help the fool that does!

I have no doubt but what he's broke and deservedly desperate to resolve his desperation. If he's able to find a sucker, best of luck!

 

[JoeKing]

Fare the well, we hardly knew ye. Just kidding, good riddance.

 

[MarcusRock]

Might want to brush up on your history.

I think he was banking on you knowing your movie history.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I'd be surprised if anyone shows interest. He wasted away the prime years of his career and I don't see how a team could trust him at this point.

True.

He Purple Drank it away.

 

[Stash]

True.

He Purple Drank it away.

It always frustrates me to see people throw away and waste talent and opportunity. I think McClain had the ability to be arguably the best linebacker in the game.

 

[CowboysDrew]

Good, more purple drank for the rest of us.

Sorry, no intention of suggesting you did, just a warning for other others!

 

[John813]

Wonder if he'll get a shot. Assume Daryl Washington iirc got blackballed by the league after the DV stuff. Cause he had the talent/age on his side

Especially after training camp. Maybe he would’ve got a flyer somewhere but he’s not the kind of guy you waste a roster spot on to get him in football shape.

I agree. I thought the timing of the reinstatement didn’t do anyone any favors.
