jason Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I heard a rumor the other day from a reliable source that the Raiders would be willing to part with Rolando McClain for a very insignificant amount in trade. Possibly a 6th or 7th round draft pick. And that's IF he doesn't get released. Young, crazy talented, maybe a bit stupid, definitely a bit of a trouble maker, but a possibly cheap solution for the MLB situation in Chicago. For all capologists: What would he count against the cap if he were traded to the Bears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I thought the Raiders were about to release him. I'd like him but I don't know that i'd just hand him the starting job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont trade anything for him....let him be cut first then go get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I started this thread with the thought of whether a trade would be better. Giving up a 7th for him is relatively risk-free. And if you wait for him to hit FA then you might not get him because a team might outbid you. As long as there are no salary cap issues, a 7th rounder for him would be a great idea.

Yes it is maybe a risk-free idea,but you are parting with a draft pick that might be used as a trade up package to get a valued player in the draft. But if he is let go then yes you might have interest from other teams, but you can also set your own price for him without being told" i want this or that for him" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he screws his head on straight, he could be an incredible steal. If not, it's still only a 7th rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
