He can go home and sit for 5 games - his contract balloons so they'll have no choice but to cut him and let him become a free agent. Then he can go to the Patriots and compete for a Super Bowl. |

As for how it made Orton appear? People here STILL clamor for him and blame the Chiefs for letting him leave. Rolando McLain would be doing himself a favor, if the Chiefs are stupid enough to claim him, by just not showing up. The national media would line up to say "I don't blame him, KC is a mess." |

I'm glad he didnt since we have a good shot at Smith now. You don't think McLain would be an upgrade over Belcher? |

Its 4 million its not HUGE. Probably more than he's worth but maybe a new GM can negotiate it down.

That's a lot for a guy that contributes as little as he does. It's the perfect leverage for him to take less money and land on a team that isn't a ****ing shit hole like the Raiders or Chiefs.

I am not saying I want him. I can just see where this could be a good deal for the team.

McLain said he want's the play for a REAL TEAM. That $4M base salary next year IS huge, in terms of leverage. He needs the Chiefs even less than they need him. If he reports, they're going to use him for 5 games and either cut him or force him to take a pay cut. Either way, he's not getting paid $4M next year. He can accelerate the process by refusing to report and in the process, ensure he doesn't have to play for a clown show like the Chiefs. |
