The Dallas Cowboys traded for Rolando “Retired 2x” McClain a few weeks ago. The deal was with the Baltimore Ravens, the Ravens received a 6th round 2015 pick from the Cowboys while they shipped McClain and a 7th round 2015 pick.
First off I have a few questions didn’t McClain just retire again in April? I know the Cowboys were thin at linebacker, was he the first guy on the list? McClain has retired two times already, will he retire again? McClain was an all-world linebacker at Alabama and had a few solid seasons with the Oakland Raiders. He had a few run-ins with the law and upon his arrival to the Ravens he decided to walk away from football. McClain took a year off and then decided to comeback in the midst of the comeback he walked away from the game again. Which now brings us to him being traded to the Cowboys, how did Jerry work this one out? I guess it can’t hurt, right?
The reason the Cowboys were in the market for a new inside linebacker is because during early training camp star linebacker Sean Lee tore his ACL. Lee when healthy is the best player on the Cowboys defense and without him last year the season spiraled out of control. Lee is known for being hurt more than being on the field. If he could get a few years of clean health the Cowboys would be set in good business, but injuries and Sean Lee are damn near go together like peanut butter and jelly.
Welp, we always know Jerry Jones will keep it interesting down at “Jerry’s World”. Will his McClain reclamation project work? Who will Jerry bring in next? I’m no Cowboys’ fan, but I will be paying attention.
