This is the biggest issue. I brought it up in an earlier post, even though I was wrong about his salary counting against the cap- you still have to figure Jerry is keeping the guy in the Cowboys plans, even though he probably can't play himself back into shape in 4-5 games to be a factor. And that's only because of his reported laziness in working out and keeping himself in shape while he waits for his suspension to end.If you get McClain at his best days he is a beast. But I remember him looking like he wasn't even trying on the field last year. Like he just didn't give a shit. And maybe that was because our team sucked and he had just given up. Something that he wouldn't encounter this year. But at this point I don't know how you can trust McClain and not be concerned that it would mess with the chemistry this defense has built at this point.
I guess my point is...Jerry has a history of hanging his hat on players coming off injury, coming off suspensions, etc as reasons why they don't upgrade positions whether its thru FA or the draft.
So to hear Jerry even mention McClains name gives me the chronic shits.
