The legal problems of Ravens linebacker Rolando McClain haven't cost him his roster spot, at least not yet. As McClain continues to deal with the aftermath of an arrest in his hometown of Decatur, Ala., on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest nine days after being signed to a one-year contract with a maximum value of $1.1 million, the Ravens are allowing the process to play out in the court system. McClain pleaded guilty to a window tint violation Monday and had a false information charge dismissed. McClain has been involved in several off-the-field issues since the Oakland Raiders drafted him in the first round with the eighth overall pick three years ago. Since entering the NFL, McClain hasn't reprised the All-American and Butkus Award winner form he displayed at Alabama. "I think this about McClain, he deserves a second chance," Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta said during The Baltimore Sun Sports Forum. "If you asked him, he would probably admit to making some mistakes. We think he warrants a second chance. Obviously, he's an Alabama guy. "We have a relationship with a lot of Alabama players. We get a lot of good information from Alabama because of Ozzie Newsome's relationship with the school. So, we think he deserves a second chance." Source: Baltimore Sun
well obviously the Ravens think he deserves a second chance. However someone needs to get a hold of the guy and keep him out of trouble
I'd rather move on from the guy but the bargain i guess is too appealing for the team lol. I guess they wanna get him in the program and see if he can buy in and fit in.
Decostas right, he does deserve a second chance. Which he got, ages ago. He's on, like, chance number seventeen.
