Twitter: Rolando McClain not on Cowboys Charter to TC

[Jstopper]

per the CBA, can you cut a suspended player?

You would have to have another justification for it like failing a conditioning test or something. You can't cut someone for a drug offense after the league has already suspended them because it's like getting double punished for the same offense.

Sometimes I'm not sure if he is really dedicated

This had me...

Shocking!

Shocking!

I think he wants to be cut.

I think he wants to be cut.

In all likelihood. Whatever gets him the most money for the least amount of work.

Can a team fine a suspended player? I'm not sure but I doubt it. I would think it is up to the player to report to camp or not. If the suspended player doesn't want to report to camp, I don't see the team being able to do anything. Contractually, I'm guessing McClain doesn't have to show up until one week before the 11th game.

Anyway, concerning fines, I don't recall the Cowboys fining many players lately for not reporting to camp. Maybe my memory is wrong, but I don't think Jerry fines players for not reporting to camp.

Yes they can fine him...he is not technically suspended until Week One.....he is allowed to practice and go to all meetings and play in the pres-season, so he is required and expected to be there

Rolando has made it obvious he doesn't take Football that serious. When he was out of a job and we gave him a shot he was on fire.. he was wrecking dudes. Then he gets complacent and goes back to the loser he was before. Waste of time! Kick rocks rolando.

 

[the_h0wey]

cut this fool already. He is a waste of time.

Should have never brought him back when he quit on the team during the Rams game 2 years ago. To call us stupid for keeping him is a MASSIVE understatement

 

[DCBoysfan]

I think the writing is,on the wall, he is basically saying "Please cut me'! But I think Dallas is working to get some money back.

 

[Doomsday101]

I have no doubt if Camp was held in Colorado McClain would have made it too camp. lol

 

[TRUTH87]

woodson said not too long ago, mcclain is a goner. no surprise. He needs to go... id let Gregory go as well once the time comes

 

[phildadon86]

Placed on the Did Not Report list. I think hes done

Ding, dong, the witch is with his bong.

Good riddance.

Pretty sure hes done. Jerry just said "hes not here, we will move on." Don't know if he meant from the situation or him.

He is not suspended until the season begins. He is required to be at all mandatory camps

per the CBA, can you cut a suspended player?

You can. But in this case, it would mean forfeiting additional cap space that we would gain from getting back parts of his bonus

 

[Air Force One]

If he truly wants to be cut, then I'm against cutting him. I'm for doing the opposite of whatever he wants.

 

[Longboysfan]

He has already accomplished that.

good idea, make him quit , or do some more stuff so no other team will ever want him, that way his football career is over.
