IRVING, Texas (AP) _ The Dallas Cowboys have acquired the rights to former
Baltimore linebacker Rolando McClain and are placing Sean Lee on season-ending
injured reserve with a torn knee ligament.
The team reported on its website Tuesday that it also would send a sixth-round
pick in next year’s draft to the Ravens while getting a seventh-round pick in
return.
McClain was the eighth overall pick by Oakland in 2010, but off-the-field
issues, including multiple arrests, shortened his career. He has been retired
and hasn’t played since 2012.
McClain, who turns 25 this month, has 173 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks in 41 career
games over three seasons.
Lee tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the first offseason
practice.
