Last night ESPN’s Ed Werder reported that the Raiders were going to release linebacker Rolando McClain after his heated argument with head coach Dennis Allen.
Right now, I’m not so sure that the Raiders will release McClain. Today Allen told the media that McClain was advised to not attend practice and he complied. You would think that if they were going to released him, they would have done it by now.
So at the end of the day, it looks like Werder and ESPN are wrong.
