Rolando McClain says he wants to make an
NFL comeback and is hoping to sign a contract before training camp gets underway this month.
McClain told
Matt Zenitz of AL.com he's fully recovered from a hip injury that required surgery in 2016 and is confident he can make an instant impact if signed.
"Every time I got in my linebacker position, it was bone-on-bone grind," he said. "Not only do I feel good, I'm recovered and I'm rested. I feel better now because I know I'll be playing with two legs."
McClain last played in the NFL for the Cowboys during the 2015 season. He signed a one-year contract extension to remain with Dallas for 2016. However, he was
suspended for the first 10 games of the season and then
suspended indefinitely for violating the league's policy on substances of abuse.
The 29-year-old University of Alabama product told Zenitz he's been in contact with the NFL Players Association about reinstatement and wants a chance to write a new ending to his football career.
"I'm nowhere near satisfied with how my professional career has gone," McClain said. "That's for myself. That's me looking in the mirror and talking to my boys. Nah, that's not the taste I want to leave in my mouth."
