Raiders Silver and Black Blog » Rolando McClain “no longer an Oakland Raider”

Linebacker Rolando McClain posted this on what some local and Alabama reporters think is his Facebook wall an hour ago: “Officially no longer an Oakland Raider!!”

McClain later posted a clarification: “Well technically I am. But I’m mentally done. Just waiting on my papers.”

The thread was then erased at about 3:35 p.m.

Kyle Burger, a sports reporter/anchor at WVTM-TV, earlier reported that McClain is no longer with the Raiders. Burger tweeted that McClain writes: ‘I’m gonna weigh my options. Looking forward to playing for an actual ‘team.’

The Raiders have not waived McClain as the waiver deadline for today passed, and he was not on the list.

The team will only say that McClain is still on the roster.

Earlier Wednesday, McClain missed practice due to “team-related issues,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.

Allen wouldn’t offer up any details or comments on the matter. When asked if McClain would be back at practice Thursday, Allen said, “I don’t know that.”

McClain was the eighth overall pick in the 2010 draft. He has struggled so far in his career and has had his playing time sharply reduced after the fourth game of the season,

For anybody actually wanting their team to pick up McClain, I suggest you watch some game film. Sure he's always capable of making a big hit but most of the time he is too slow to react and get to the ball....if he even sees the ball. He's the only LB I've ever seen who seems to take pride in bullrushing the blocker to the ground instead of actually shedding the block to make a play. Even at Alabama he was slow to react. Probably 75% of his tackles are beyond 6-7 yards because his instincts suck. He doesn't attack the ball but instead lets the play come to him.

*remembers when Giants fans were pissed on Draft Day that they didn't get McClain and instead were stuck with Jason Pierre Paul*
