IRVING, Texas -- The 2016 season will be Terrell McClain's third with the Dallas Cowboys, yet he remains something of a mystery.

He missed two games in 2014 because of an ankle injury and a concussion and was a healthy scratch for a third game. He missed 14 games this past season because of a toe injury that required surgery.

“I’m still kicking,” McClain said...

If nothing else you have to admire his ability to continue earning paychecks.

In his 5 years in the NFL he has a grand total of 37 tackle and 2 sacks.... so on average 7 tackles and 0.4 sacks per season.

He is a nice runstopper in the middle when he plays, which hasn't been much in his half a decade in the league.

Archer's been awful lately. He's part of an ESPN piece on all the teams' draft needs and his Cowboys summary talks about possibly taking a QB at 4 because " they may never be in position for a top QB again".

Never ever again. Through the end of time.

Draft a 1-Tech early already you.....,,,,,

Yep, always injured.

....if he could stay on the bloody field.

Willie Blade could have been a valuable piece for the Dallas Cowboys. Ben Bass could have been a valuable piece for the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[Carson]

Just no.

Draft or sign a 1 tech. Let him and Hayden fight it out for mop up duty.

Watching Carolina you see what a legit front can do. Enough with the Hayden's and McClains, get somebody halfway decent here

Yeah I want the qb this year, but if they choose to ignore the need, we will be picking top ten again next year.

Dump this guy , can't stay healthy for more than one game.our run blocking went down the drain when he went down after playing 1 game.

When Dallas came back from a NFL worse defense, he was a part of that group of unknowns...just the previous season.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Absolutely he is a valuable piece. The Cowboys need someone to test the temperature of the water daily in the training room therapy tub. McClain performs this job well and without fail.

 

[CCBoy]

There aren't many compliments for journeymen who gave blood and sweat for the team...

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

At this point give me Hayden over Mcclain. Atleast he stays on the field and has a sweet nickname

 

[cowboyblue22]

i don't see any value he don't play always hurt so yeah he is just a jag

 

[Doomsay]

Can't build an effective defense around guys who can't remain healthy or dedicated like Claiborne and McClain, no matter how much potential they might have.

I don't know if you were saying this with a straight face or not, but it is .

Well, he could be reasoning that we win the Super Bowl every year for the rest of time.

It could happen.

You're discounting the possibility that the franchise could be contracted.
