Rolando McClain acquired by Dallas Cowboys - NFL.com

I like the move. Low risk, high potential reward.

When he retired, his plan was to get his life together and then continue playing football. Hopefully he has his head on straight now. He's still young and has potential.

Fingers are crossed.

UH OH. One bad MF. Hope he straightens up. I just hope he stays away from Witten in TC.

Lee officially placed on IR.

 

[snookdad]

Hopefully he can be motivated and return to form (8th player drafted).

Yep...."The Cowboys have roughly $8.5 million in salary-cap space. That's enough money to fit in a new contract for a free-agent linebacker, if the team deems one necessary to fill Sean Lee's spot at middle linebacker. Currently Justin Durant is No. 1 on the depth chart at middle linebacker"


maybe that Romo restructure had value after all.
Who knows but McClain seems worth the risk at this time in his career.

You lost me. im thinking he is getting around the veteran minimum. So unless I'm wrong on that how was any of that cap savings needed for him? I think we all expected a signing like this after Lee went down. I know I said in some thread recently we'll probably see a Durant/Simms type of signing. That's basically what this is. If anything bringing in a guy like McClain who isn't a lock to make the team reinforces that we have cap issues IMO.

hang in there jarntt, we'll spend the money.
When this coming season is the only thing that matters, people tend to continue to look for ways to upgrade

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[jarntt]

Did I hear right? 3 arrests and two retirements since he was in the league?

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

I think u heard right. He also knocked WIttens spleen in his throat in a preseaon game. Terrible pass by ROmo. Led him right into that

In our shit situation, with Lee hurt, this is a good move. If McClain is the same turd he's been for a while, we cut him loose and have lost nothing. If he plays up to his potential, we got a stud talent for next to nothing. Why not
