Twitter: Roland McClain requesting reinstatement? **merged**

[Jake]

Sign him cut Sean Lee. Even if he gets suspended he'll play the same amount of games that Sean Lee is good for anyway.

Lee is over the hill but McClain isn't the answer to anything.

What a complete and utter moron.

Dude won the genetic lottery and could've made a hundred mill, but instead decided to weird himself out of the league. Now that he's out of money(I seriously doubt he was smart enough to invest the millions he did make), he wants to come back. Dude should be flayed on general principle. (Yes, I'm joking about that last sentence!!!)

 

[Beaker42]

I guess he's running out of cash.

Or purple drank.

 

[SportsGuru80]

Damn I bet he could make a nice strong side LBer too SMH such a waste of talent....

Actually he was very smart with his money. He made the most of what he got from the raiders financially. I read this in several money magazines. Our own Terrence Newman was another that did very well investing.

Good luck with that.......LOL

 

[darthseinfeld]

You buggin' if you thing he was just a passable starter.

He was mediocre outside of a few good games. People fell in love with him after that Seattle game and sold themselves that we found ourselves a high end starter. Reality was he was a jag that flashed from time to time

 

[Vinnie2u]

Definitely a RKG. Roland, Irving and Gregory. Bring em all back. We can get rid of the Hot Boyz and start the Dope Boyz.

 

[noshame]

Not worthy of thread

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

He was a good player. Shame he wasted his opportunity

 

[HanD]

He's intelligent. He's been the captain on the team for how long. Yes you make him a coach

Yep..it's not like both our studs now credit him with teaching them everything they know since being in the league or anything....

 

[Rayman70]

the money dried up and he cant get his purple drank no more is my guess. Now he suddenly "loves" football...until he decides HE DOESNT AGAIN. lol...pass on this fool. We have no room on the depth chart anyway. NFL wont reinstate him btw...aint happening.

McClain, who returned to school and graduated from Alabama in December 2017, has been living in Alabama and has been going through regular workouts, including early morning sessions in the Alabama weight room.

Doesn't sound like he needs the money. And he has graduated also.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Will he even be reinstated???

 

[paladin]

good for him. only 29 and one of the most naturally gifted players i can remember seeing. guy is no dummy. hope he gets himself right and does well.

Objective evidence would tend to support an entirely different conclusion; but agree with "best of luck" to him.

 

[cowboyblue22]

the cowboys need to get rid of his rights and move on he is a bust and its all on him what he could of been if he would of just tried

 

[Aven8]

Dude was an enforcer. Changed the dynamic of our whole D that one season when Lee went out in OTA’s.

He's made $25 million in his career. Thanks raiders.

 

[DuncanIso]

You don't realize what you had until it is gone. Irving will be the same way. For McClain I think that ship has sailed

Yes.

Most of them are broke soon after they finish playing.

The smart ones plan.

I def agree to disagree...
