I'm just glad it seems as if he'll be gone. I wanted him gone very badly.

The cap hit for keeping him or cutting him are the same I read. So that is a moot point.
McClain gave the team a reason for suspension. My take, they planned to cut him in hopes a team claims him off waivers and takes his contract (cheap for 5 games). When he Facebook flamed them like a teenage girl, that was detrimental to the team.
So now you suspend for his actions, don't pay him and who knows, maybe get a draft pick in trade in the offseason.

NFL Films' Greg Cosell on Rolando McClain:
| Quote: | | "He's been awful ... arguably the worst starting 4-3 middle linebacker in the NFL. He can't move" |
| Quote: | | "He doesn't play with any quick twitch at all. He's almost plodding in his movements." |

Doubt that would get through the NFLPA, especially if he was told he was cut.

Well the NFLPA didn't help out Pryor why should it stick up for a grown man acting like a Taylor Swift song. |

I would have wrote Romac but i didnt think there was a chance since he was young. Well done DA / RM!

Pretty disappointed he is just suspended. I know his contract is pretty big, but I wonder what the odds are that a team would give up a 7th for him in the offseason. Maybe a coach who is good with troubled players and guys with attitude issues. If New England still ran a 3-4 D I would be certain thats where he would end up.

This whole situation is a real head scratcher and no matter what happens it seems to have been handled really poorly.
