Rolondo McClain cut by OAK

[The King]

According to PFT, Rolondo McClain has been cut.

[Mr. Miyagi]

And?

[EDS]

I thought he was going to be good. Boy was I wrong.

[tatersalad]

DITTO: I thought he would be a star too

[cookie G]

And?

And?



And Danny Ammendola plays for the Pats now.

[SpikedLemonade]

No doubt his career has been a disappointment relative to his draft position and contract.

However, that is now irrelevant to us.

A one year cheap contract would upgrade our LB group.

You put in a call to Nick Saban and say, "Nick, we'd like to give the guy a shot at redemption. A) Will we be able to get through to him and B) If so, how do we get through to him?"

If he says, "you can't" move on.

The kid is 23. He has to be worth a roster spot.

Seems simple enough.

Who has to do the actual telephone dialing for Buddy?

[gloveus]

Wasn't he being hailed as a safe pick by "draft experts" too?

I remember, after the pick, Tom Jackson saying, "Three years ago the Raiders drafted a QB, they still need a QB. Two years ago the Raiders drafted a RB, they still need a RB. Last year they drafted a WR, they still need a WR. I guarantee three years from now they won't need an MLB." Think again, TJ.

[Scumbag College]

I don't know, he might take the roster spot of Chris White or Kelvin Sheppard. Then we'd be in trouble.

go after him buddy. low risk high reward.

unfortunately, he will probably stay in the AFC West...

[fluteflakes]

Slow, takes terrible angles, doesn't shed blocks at all, only motivated when he feels like it, and a terrible person.

What about that says "bring him in"? We had enough slow linebackers last year, just because he's younger and was drafted higher doesn't make him better.

[better days]

I am pretty sure he is subject to wavers. But I heard Adam Shefter say that McClain is from Philly & he told the Raiders he wanted to play close to home & didn't want them to draft him. They drafted him anyway. Sometimes a change of scenery does a person good.

And this is the reason I like the Bills drafting players from the SEC & the South rather than the West. Unless a YOUNG guy is happy about moving across the entire Country, NOT good to make him do so.

I'll call the bills switchboard and leave a message from Saban. Buddy's proved he's good about returning calls.

[JoeMama]

You'd think with a sweet name like Rolondo McClain this guy was born to play linebacker.

It's like a mix between Rambo and John McClane.

Aaron Curry was another guy who the draftniks unanimously hailed as a sure thing.

[Parzival]

It's like a mix between Rambo and John McClane.

Add a little Arnold and pretty sure this is what you'd get:

Ozzie Newsome signed him for 700,000 plus incentives. I'll bet he gave Saban a call.
