The Raiders are getting rid of dead weight. No more free rides for over priced players. You go Reggie.

Love how things always get flipped for the worst on the Raiders.

If they keep him hes a locker room cancer and an unproductive underachieving bum…

But, if they let him go he could be a great addition for some team and ‘played well’ statistically two years ago.

Give me a break, Rolando can not hold a gap for his life, he is a huge liability in the running game and average against defending the pass. He never tries his best, what a waste of money and time!

Of think a trade for a 6th or 7th round pick would at least be possible. What a waste. All the cap space this will kill also. Not a good move at all really.

I’m sure he’ll get shot somewhere.

Aside from his incidents, it is a big red light that a team is willing to take a $7 million cap hit just to get you out of the team.

It’s about time, ship him to the Bengals so he can be with Jackson.

If Tennessee is in the business to making the team better, they’d sign this guy

Come to Seattle and resurrect your career, but honestly the jets need you the most. Just my opinion. This could humble him or ruin him, just need to see if he still has that passion.

Of all the things we’ve seen other players do, short of hiding an illegal dog fighting ring, few have been more disturbing than McClain firing a gun by someone’s head.

That’s beyond “bad behavior.” Even some stuff that actually killed others, like the DUI and speeding such as we saw in Dallas, was far less mean-spirited. Kids making mistakes is one thing…but choosing to terrify someone by threatening their life to make yourself seem tough?

Just beyond redemption.

This is an evil man, and anyone who takes him deserves what they get.

I’m sure Rolando thinks he didn’t do anything wrong.

Not sure what the relevance of Joe Haden being drafted before him is.
Anyways, I think Bama seems to produce an unusual amount of head cases.

Off the field are even too much for the Raiders to deal with? Normally I would say the Raiders would sign this guy but…

Maybe he can work out with JRussell. They can form a has-been club of people that have stolen money from the raiders.

Addition by subtraction for my Raiders. Hope this guy grows up for the sake of his kids.

Bears should take a shot. I’d rather them take a flyer on him than a guy like ogletree.

Dallas should pick him up, play him on the outside with Carter on the other side. Lee, Carter, McClain – very good LB lineup.

That’s just another way of saying they had no 7th round offers for McClain during the combine.

I knew right away this guy wasn’t committed when he was drafted. McClain was just on his couch celebrating with his friends and family when Goodell call his name. When you are a top 20 prospect in the draft, you should suit yourself and show your face to the team that drafted you. Poor Raiders fans…

WOW …. What a huge surprise that the Raiders are going to release Rolando McClain.

Honestly this should only be newsworthy if the Raiders brought back John Herrera to escort McClain out of the building. (with Tim Kawakami reporting of course)

Good riddance, up side was huge but could not seem to get it together. If he can stay focused and acknowledge the fact that his “home boys” are not going to be there when all the money is gone, he could be a Beast. His bum ankle didnt help last season but with all the drama, he’s better off getting a shot else where……Cincinnati anyone? Reunion with good ol’ Hue…..

Everyone who talks about his “potential” and “promise” must not have seen him play for the Raiders.
I’ve seen just about every game. He’s been horrible.
I see no potential.
He’s usually out of position in run defense, Can’t cover the tight end in pass defense, and tackles like a 185lb cornerback with a skirt on when he’s actually near the ball before the whistle. Which is not often.
I thought they should have tried to trade him two years ago when he might have been worth something.

Another wasted pick.
Thank you.

Sounds like a solid project for Bears.
