According to ESPN insider, Adam Schefter, former Oakland Raider and Baltimore Raven (somewhat) linebacker, Rolando McClain has assumably ended his retirement…again, to be traded to the Dallas Cowboys:
Baltimore traded LB Rolando McClain to the Dallas Cowboys, per source. So McClain’s retirement might be over.

Interrupt soccer for this: Dallas traded 6th-rd pick for LB Rolando McClain and Baltimore’s 7th-rd pick, per source. McClain wants to play.

The former first round pick announced his retirement in April after the Raiders traded him to the Ravens, doing so in text messages sent to ESPN, so his rekindled interest to play football will most likely come with plenty of skepticism. However, if he’s been keeping himself football ready and committed; he could be a welcome helping hand to a depleted Cowboys linebacking corp.
