NewColtsFan Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The Raiders are going to waive their former 1st round draft pick ILB.I think this is more than just performance related.He's 24 years old and 6'4" and 260. I'd be interested in kicking the tires.http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8688668/rolando-mcclain-released-oakland-raiders-according-source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21isSuperman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wouldn't mind taking a look at him. He has had some off-the-field issues in the past, but he is certainly very talented. With that said, our LB group is very good, so I wouldn't be too upset if he doesn't end up in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'd be interested in giving him a look. He would definitely be a better option than Kavell Conner. Angerer hasn't done what I thought he was capable of either. I think it's worth a look at the least, although some of that off the field stuff he got himself into is concerning and a possible character issue.After looking at some of these comments he made on twitter it seems he's got some maturity issues. I don't know if I would give him anything more than a look. He'd have to really impress me in a one on one interview if I were GM.http://www.sharapovasthigh.com/2012/11/lb-rolando-mcclain-on-apparent-release.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Moleman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 McClain's terrible. I wouldn't want him on the Colts if he paid us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playoffs2013 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I think we should grab rolando McClain when he is released by the raiders. He is the 10th best Ron stopper in the league, and old only deepen our playoff core for the playoff hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You're probably right. It's makes you wonder when a kid that young , who was drafted so high is being outright released before his contract ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Wouldn't mind taking a look at him, Wouldn't mind passing on him. ILB is our strongest position on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hans Moleman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 hes the 10 th best run stopper in the league according to pro football focusThis is one case where PFF is trying to be a little too cute for its own good. I've seen him play. He's barely the 10th best run stopper on his own team. He's a downgrade from Kavell Conner in NFL ability and as a professional teammate. Best of luck to him, but the Colts are a weaker team if we bring him on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
