With the Dallas Cowboys recently receiving news that their starting middle linebacker Rolando McClain will be suspended for the first 10-games of the season, some have been calling for his immediate release from the team.
The 27-year old linebacker was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 regular season as well. Both suspensions were due to multiple failed drug tests, which resulted in violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.
Twice retired prior to joining the Cowboys via a trade in 2014, the mercurial McClain has found more success in Dallas than either of the other two teams who have owned his rights as a professional in the NFL.
