Jerry Jones compares Rolando McClain’s situation to Charles Haley
http://thelandryhat.com/2016/07/20/jerry-jones-compares-rolando-mcclains-situation-to-charles-haley/
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones recently drew comparisons to Rolando McClain’s recent suspension to five-time Super Bowl champion Charles Haley.
With the Dallas Cowboys recently receiving news that their starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain will be suspended for the first 10-games of the season, some have been calling for his immediate release from the team
The 27-year old linebacker was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 regular season as well. Both suspensions were due to multiple failed drug tests, which resulted in violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.
Twice retired prior to joining the Cowboys via a trade in 2014, the mercurial McClain has found more success in Dallas than either of the other two teams who have owned his rights as a professional in the NFL.
Those being the Oakland Raiders, the team that drafted him eighth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft. And then the Baltimore Ravens, the team that signed McClain when the Raiders released him after only three seasons.
While a member of the Ravens, McClain never played a single down for the franchise as he opted instead to retire. Then a failed comeback/workout for Baltimore turned bad and into a second retirement before the Cowboys came calling later that offseason.
While in Dallas, McClain has surprisingly played well. He’s recorded a total of 161 tackles, 3.0 sacks, three interceptions and one defensive touchdown in 24 games. But the problem hasn’t been McClain’s play on the field as much as the drama off of it..
