Raiders to place LB Rolando McClain on waivers
The Rolando McClain era with the Oakland Raiders has come to an end as ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the club will place the 2010 first-round pick on waivers. Running back Darren McFadden is now the only Oakland first-round pick since 2000 still on the team's roster. That year, Oakland selected kicker Sebastian Janikowski with the 17th overall pick. McClain should have no problem clearing waivers. The 23-year-old has two seasons and $10.31 million remaining on his five-year, $40.25 million rookie contract and is scheduled to earn $4.255 million in total cash compensation 2013 and another $6.055 million in 2014. According to a source with knowledge of McClain's rookie contract, $3.635 million of the $10.31 million that remains on the contract is fully guaranteed with no offset language. Any team that willingly acquires McClain's contract, also acquires the $3.635 million in fully guaranteed base salary.. Y! SPORTS ILB/OLB head case might be i am not sure what. |
Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Kevin, Rolando McClain definitely intrigues, especially added to the talent level we are accruing at Linebacker (not going to do a Flashback)...
But, what kind of baggage does he have if the RAIDERS of all teams are cutting him loose?!? Plus, there is former Saints Coach, now Raiders Head Coach, Dennis Allen signing off on the move to release him - so how likely are his former Saints coworkers going to geaux after McClain?!? |
Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
My initial thought about McCalin is a stern no, but I guess Ryan would know if he actually could be a good addition.
I seem to remember that he has had his share of off the field problems along with not really living up to his draft status on the field. Probably not someone who would add anything worthwhile to the roster. |
Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Was Ryan still with the Raiders when McClain was drafted? I can see Ryan at least taking a look, we still can't afford him though

Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Rob Ryan was in Cleveland and on his way to Dallas when McClain was drafted.

Left Tackle Solution
(a) Redo Roman Harper Contract and then trade Harper for Rodger Saffold - St. Louis Rams - 2013 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com... (b) Sign either (1) Max Starks - Pittsburgh Steelers - 2013 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com or (2) Jared Gaither - Unsigned Free Agent - 2013 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com |
Re: 2013 Saints - Free Agency Targets
Gaither looked horrible in some of the games I saw him play last season, and he was abused by a lot of DEs even with help given to him - health concerns to boot doesn't really make him all that attractive.

I think Max Starks is serviceable and still has enough of an athlete he can help in our wheel pass plays and screen plays... |
