McClain release, do we have space for him? Does Tomlin still want him?

[scudmissile29]

Back in 2009, Tomlin was quoted as saying to an Alabama coach "He can be my mike any day, tell him that"

So, should we go after McClain?

He's 23
He's played for the Raiders -- that automatically ****s your career over
He also played in the wrong position in a 4-3 defense, he's a 3-4 ILB
He would be a steal and would allow Spence to possibly move to the OLB if he ever comes back
He would come cheap, McClain wants to play for a "real" team. I don't think he will get much attention after his run ins.

I would go after him and offer him around $3M a year. Some may only want to give him $1M.

Your thoughts?

He'd be a nice addition!

All he would be is a ST player until he was 27, We'll keep Foote 2 years to late like Farrior and then he will start.

2 years $3 mill...........let him prove something. Guys at 23 are just starting to grow up. He could be a 10 year starter for us? Too bad we don't have Harrison still to lay a beating on him if he acts up!

You're showing your hypocrisy again Flame. I thought you hated the "thug"/"gangsta" type players (ie Rolando McClain)...

no, i don't care for thugs -- only want team players.

I don't care if a player rapes or stabs someone and scores a touchdown -- i'm chearing him
someone who holds out and has done something (hines ward) im annoyed at but still cheers
someone who thinks hes the best, names himself young money and holds out i want dead (mike wallace)

I'll welcome mcclain with open arms.

[ChucktownSteeler]

Bring him in for a look see. Still young and has something to prove.

[SnakeEyes43]

Bring him in, talk with him, give him a physical, go from there.
