The Dallas Cowboys traded for the troubled linebacker in 2014 after Sean Lee suffered a season-ending injury in training camp. Rolando McClain, was a former first-round pick with unquestioned talent but huge character concerns. During his tenure with the Cowboys, McClain’s performance on the field was spectacular but injuries and suspensions kept him off the field frequently. McClain was arrested multiple times, and was involved in an arson incident as a member of the Cowboys.
