Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain met the media on Tuesday after practice and issued an apology for the position he’s put the Raiders in. He didn’t take any questions.
“I’m aware of the bad publicity that I’ve given the Raiders. After talking to Coach (Dennis) Allen, I have the support of the Raiders, my teammates, as well as the coaching staff. I apologize for the bad publicity that’s been put out there. But it is a legal process and I can’t talk much about it, but I think in due time the Raiders and the Raiders fans that are out there will see it all come to an end. It is what it is; I can’t really talk much about it but it will be resolved in the near future.”

Drafting good wide receivers has become something of a trend for the Raiders over the past few years and now they have a huge depth of talented young receivers.
