Rolando McClain might be cut

Raiders waiving LB Rolando McClain today.

[Hammock Parties]

The Chiefs should sign this guy immediately. He's a perfect 3-4 ILBer. Only 3 guys had higher grades in run defense.

If Cut i would love the chiefs to claim him.

[O.city]

Wouldn't he fit well next to DJ?

[Sorter]

In all seriousness, he is just a more talented version of Belcher with remedial coverage skills and off field issues.

[Sorter]

So, yeah, he can take Belcher's job. Bring him in

[The Bad Guy]

I'd claim him and put him next to DJ. Guy is a 3-4 backer.

I don't care how much of a headcase he is.

[pr_capone]

The Chiefs should sign this guy immediately. He's a perfect 3-4 ILBer. Only 3 guys had higher grades in run defense.

He said he was looking forward to playing for a real team. That instantly means not KC.

[The Bad Guy]

He'd literally erase a need in the draft.

I was also told the Chiefs were taking him in 2010 if Washington took Berry.

[The Bad Guy]

He said he was looking forward to playing for a real team. That instantly means not KC.

Doesn't have a say. He's going to be on waivers.

[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 fucking heartbeat. Oakland Has no idea what they are doing.

He would be a perfect upgrade to Belcher.

[Hammock Parties]

He'd literally erase a need in the draft.

I was also told the Chiefs were taking him in 2010 if Washington took Berry.

LMAO

Classic Pioli.

What a reach pick.

[Hammock Parties]

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

[Sorter]

Phil Emery found Belcher, not Pioli.

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

Huge upgrade over Belcher.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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

[Mr. Laz]

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


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

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet

An hour ago, Rolando McClain posted this on his Facebook wall: "Officially no longer an Oakland Raider!!"

[Iowanian]

I guess it's possible this is why Kehr was deemed "expendable"?



It's not like he could make the Chiefs suck any more than they already do.

[BossChief]

He'd literally erase a need in the draft.

I was also told the Chiefs were taking him in 2010 if Washington took Berry.

Ditto

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

Raiders LB Rolando McClain making some cryptic tweets about his exit, but nothing on waiver wire about him being cut or suspended

[BossChief]

Another bonus if we claim him is the defense he was the leader of at Bama is nearly identical to ours.

The bad side, he might help us beat Oakland.

[DJ's left nut]

Not going to happen.

The Chiefs would never actually get that lucky.

Oh wait, yeah this probably will happen and then the Chiefs won't put a claim in on him.

Then again, Scott did say he'd need 53 guys off the street in order to win 2 games, so maybe this would be part of his master plan.

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

[DJ's left nut]

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.

[BossChief]

[x]
7/29/2010: Signed a five-year, $40 million contract. The deal contains $23 million guaranteed. An annual $250,000 workout bonus is available in years two through five. 2012: $970,000, 2013: $4.005 million, 2014: $5.805 million, 2015: Free Agent

[RunKC]

I bet Ozzie Newsome is on the phone right now trying to do anything he can to get this guy.

He is the perfect fit in Baltimore.

[DeezNutz]

On the surface, this would appear to be a no-brainer move for the Chiefs.

[OnTheWarpath15]

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.

[O.city]

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

:shrug:

Jerry McDonald ‏@Jerrymcd

Raiders at present not confirming anything with McClain, saying he's still ``officially'' on the roster.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Steve Corkran ‏@CorkOnTheNFL

Again, Rolando McClain remains on the Raiders 53-man roster. He can't be waived until Thursday, at the earliest.

[okcchief]

This is crazy if true. The Raiders waste so many fucking picks.

[The Franchise]

Everyone has already said what I was going to say.

If true....claim him immeadiately.

[BossChief]

Our ilb depth is crap...we would almost have to claim him, right?

[O.city]

It makes to much sense to actually claim him


You need to show the fans you still give a shit, he's cheap and a perfect fit

[BossChief]

Haha

Then we wouldn't need to draft Teo and we could use that first rounder on a quarterback.

[BossChief]

Another factor in this: Belcher is a free agent after this season.

[RunKC]

He leaves Oakland saying he doesn't want to play for a horrible team and we think he's gonna show up to play for a historically horrible team?

No way

[Bump]

the Chiefs don't go after talented players, never gonna happen.

[BossChief]

Try to follow along. He would be forced to come here because he would be a waiver claim.

[Iowanian]

If he's claimed, he doesn't really have a choice.

The selling point is "you get to beat Oakland twice per year when we stop sucking".

[O.city]

I just don't see why not claim him if he's cut.


Wouldn't he actually be a better fit inside than teo?

Hali - Johnson - McClain - Houston

[xztop12]

Pioli has to like a guy's personality to pay him

[Ace Gunner]

I'd expect the Chiefs will put a claim out, but McClain is a MIKE backer, that's his position at Bama. He's too slow to be a cover backer. Somebody 43D will get him.

Do we have first dibs at waiver wire right now?

Let's say we hypothetically switch to a 1-gap. Rolando pans out.

We need CB, FS or SS, DE (3-tech). It would be great if we could upgrade at Javier's position and get an ILB who can cover. I don't think Rolando is very good in coverage IIRC

Not sure but is think 1 gaping could create more pressure and decrease our coverage problems.

Oh I am following.

1. Horrible attitude. If things aren't great he's gonna be a baby and blast the organization on social media.
2. He pistol whipped a guy and popped a shot off next to the guys ear. HE ALMOST WENT TO JAIL.
3. He's a 2 down LB who has struggled in coverage.

We already have a 2 down LB who sucks in coverage but is good vs the run. At least he has good character and won't cost a boatload.

Well, he got banned from DraftPLanet and was bitching about it. Additionally, everyone called him out for lying about his "sources" and their credibility.

I like to think I played a little part by linking him to an article by Bucky Brooks, the scout BlackBob proclaimed was the only one he'd listen to and the scout he said trashed Geno.

I think Belcher blows, which I've said it since 2010.You liked him in 2009?

I think the guy plays his role well, but that he is a limited ceiling type guy that needs to do all the little things exceptionally to stick as a long term starter and hasn't really improved over 2010 and in some ways has regressed (like the rest of the team has)



Wait, people are now coming around to the notion that Belcher is mediocre at best and needs to be upgraded? Who could have known this? he is an average starter. It's not like he is terrible, he is just limited because of his measurables. It's not like defenses need stars at every position and his is probably the least important of all in this defense.

I think he is a good "banger" but that he has reached his ceiling in that role and that a player like Rolando is a clear upgrade because of his footmall acumen and size upgrade.

[mcaj22]

A big part of it is the faids inability to develop players.

oh and KC is much better at developing

players are getting WORSE under Pioli.

[bowener]

If you look at all of Pioli's personnel fuck ups, you have to come to the conclusion that he is doing it on purpose. I fully believe that Pioli will pass on McClain. If he is claimed, somebody else will have forced it upon Pioli or it will have been a complete accident.

[Titty Meat]

Were 1-10 I don't want Oakland's scraps but he's worth the rest of the season. Get him for 4 games next to DJ and see. Cut him in offseason or restructure his contract.

What

[BigRock]

For some reason I read this entire thread while confusing McClain with Aaron Curry. I guess because they were both LBs taken high, both were in Oakland, and Curry just got cut a few days back.

But it was like living in bizarro world for 5 minutes.

[teedubya]

Hahah, person shitty enough to get cut by the Raiders... oh, haha you have to sign with another team, that is shittier than the Raiders.
#shittiest. Waivers, bitch!

[MotherfuckerJones]

What

Im saying if he does well the rest of the year keep him and possibly restructure his contract. If not cut him fuck it we got the cap

[CoMoChief]

sign him

Haley was the one who said he could win 2 games with guys off the street.

Rolando's got some fans. Bit of an immaturity problem, but possibly could grow up with a change of scenery. Big, strong, smart, but missing something that makes a complete adult. Hits like a freight train when he feels like it. Gave up on Oaktown which is why his playing time was reduced. Look at him whiff on 3rd &1 (20 second mark): http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000100437/Raiders-vs-Bengals-highlights Doubt that he could make the KC defense any worse.... might actually make it better.

Agree entirely. He isn't going to make this defense worse. Worst case scenario, he provides an upgrade as a 1/2-down run defender who brings some hits/blows up blockers for DJ. He's more athletic, stronger and quicker IMO than becher with better instincts and is better in coverage, specifically in recognition and coming up from hs drops to make plays. Absolutely struggles in man coverage but I don't think e'd be asked to do that here. I'm not advocating we play him like Bowman and have him in on all our passing subs, but he'd definitely be a positive addition in our base front IMO.

[htismaqe]

He said he was looking forward to playing for an actual "team".

That rules out KC, where "team" is spelled P-I-O-L-I.

Get real. It's the Chiefs. They're 1-10. It didn't look bad for Kyle Orton when he told them he wasn't interested. It looked bad for the CHIEFS.

He can go home and sit for 5 games - his contract balloons so they'll have no choice but to cut him and let him become a free agent. Then he can go to the Patriots and compete for a Super Bowl.

[Dave Lane]

As for how it made Orton appear?

People here STILL clamor for him and blame the Chiefs for letting him leave.

Rolando McLain would be doing himself a favor, if the Chiefs are stupid enough to claim him, by just not showing up. The national media would line up to say "I don't blame him, KC is a mess."

Oh really it is stupid to bring a guy in on the cheap to see if he can help our team. To see if a change can make a difference. If not then you let him walk. If it does work out then 4 mil is not HUGE or you rework his deal.

I am not saying I want him. I can just see where this could be a good deal for the team.

You're missing the point.

McLain said he want's the play for a REAL TEAM.

That $4M base salary next year IS huge, in terms of leverage. He needs the Chiefs even less than they need him.

If he reports, they're going to use him for 5 games and either cut him or force him to take a pay cut. Either way, he's not getting paid $4M next year.

He can accelerate the process by refusing to report and in the process, ensure he doesn't have to play for a clown show like the Chiefs.

[htismaqe]

You don't think McLain would be an upgrade over Belcher?

Is projectile vomiting better than having explosive diarrhea?

[BigMeatballDave]

If the Chiefs claim him and he fails to report, do the Chiefs get a compensatory pick?

[BJ2K]

I really hope we can give him a tryout for the rest of the season.

Rolando is a beast and would be a great fit here, the only thing we have to do is keep him from going home to Decatur, AL. Every time he comes home he gets into something.

The NFL Today: Rolando McClain suspension could portend release

By Jason La Canfora | CBS Sports NFL Insider
December 9, 2012 11:57 am ET






Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain, a 2010 first-round pick, is completing his two-game, team-issued suspension on Sunday and is eligible to return to the club on Monday. However, this suspension could well be the first step to releasing the former eighth overall pick, whom sources confirmed was sent away from the team after engaging in a very loud and volatile argument with coach Dennis Allen a few weeks back, during the individual portion of practice. McClain has not practiced with the team since.

The former Alabama star is no stranger to off-field issues as well, including a December 2011 arrest for assault. Several current and former teammates say privately McClain is a difficult individual to play with and be around at times. McClain is due another $3.6 million in guaranteed money between 2013 and 2014, the remaining years on his deal. But per the language in his contract, the suspension means the Raiders can void the remainder of guaranteed money still owed to him and release him without penalty. Should McClain appeal, the NFLPA would have to make the case that his actions did not amount to "conduct detrimental to the team" in order to recoup that money.

McClain has already pocketed roughly $20 million from the Raiders.

Oakland could be looking at major changes this offseason, with veterans like Carson Palmer and Richard Seymour possibly done there and oft-injured Darren McFadden entering the final year of his deal. Owner Mark Davis has expressed public dissatisfaction with the team's progress in 2012 under the first-year coach Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie.

A large part of McKenzie's job this year was the restoration of order to the team's cap situation, purging bloated contracts and trying to prepare the club for the future. It remains to be seen if McClain will be a part of that purge, though the events of recent weeks would make it much easier now to get out of that deal without major financial ramifications.
