MARTIN’S COWBOYS TOTALS<br />

PRO: With injury and depth concerns at the linebacker position entering the 2014 season, the Dallas Cowboys<br />

acquired Rolando McClain in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens. McClain, the former eighth overall pick by the<br />

Oakland Raiders in the 2010 NFL Draft, immediately infused talent and experience into a young linebacking<br />

group. He earned the starting nod out of the gates and started 12 of the 13 games he played, finishing with<br />

a career-best (second on the team) 108 tackles with nine for losses, one sack, five pressures, five breakups<br />

and an interception. McClain appeared in 41 games as a Raider and displayed a nose for the ball in both run<br />

and pass defense, compiling 274 tackles and 6.5 sacks along with 23 pass deflections and one interception.<br />

He was cut by Oakland and then later signed with Baltimore in the offseason leading into the 2013 season,<br />
