You mean Belcher isn't a good player?

so the Chiefs were going to take Rolando McClain in 2010

but in the same draft

passed on

Navarro Bowman
Daryl Washington
Sean Lee
Donald Butler
Brandon Spikes
Pat Angerer

FOR ****ING JAVIER ARENAS AND DEXTER MCCLUSTER

and the first four I named are 10x better than Rolando McClain and its not even close

[O.city]

Doesn't fit the scheme in oak.


Was a stud for bama tho

[BossChief]

He would be eligible for waivers, right? I'd claim him in a ****ing heartbeat. Oakland Has no idea what they are doing.

He would be a perfect upgrade to Belcher.

[Hammock Parties]

There is no way he will be signed because Pioli strokes off to finding Belcher as an UDFA EVERY NIGHT.

Phil Emery found Belcher, not Pioli.

[Red Dawg]

Hell yes to this guy. We would be super stacked on d.

[OnTheWarpath15]

If he is expended, we should absolutely pick him up.

Huge upgrade over Belcher.

McClain signed his contract with the Raiders on July 28, 2010, in time to make the first day of training camp. The contract is estimated to be for $40 million over 5 years


Hunt wont allow this

a big hunk of that was paid up front since he was drafted prior to the new rookie cap.

Yeah, but that also means the back end is extremely high.

Look at Tyson Jackson's deal. Sure, the signing bonus was high, but so was the back end of the contract.

Claiming McClain will almost certainly cost more than he'd receive on the open market. We'd also be incredibly stupid not to do it.

claim him so he has to come here

see if he works out, if so then negotiate new deal.

If he sucks or won't negotiate then we cut him

He makes less than a million this year, about $4M next year, and just under $6M in 2014.

The guaranteed money has been paid, except for a $250,000 "workout bonus" each season.

No financial risk here.

[Mr. Laz]

wouldn't claiming him would force more of a cap on the raiders?


why not

I think he's a better fit in a 3-4 and he's more athletic than Belcher.


Even if we only keep him for the rest of the year
