Rolando McClain About to Get His Walking Papers. Should We Claim Him?

Why the hate on Fletcher? Granted, he's been hurt regularly this year but he's played through it. While he's lost a step, he's still playing at a high level. Why the doom and gloom on Fletcher?no doom and gloom, just doubt he'll be starting here in 2015 at age 40, that's all.

He's NOT playing at a high level. We've been over this and have shown you the numbers. He's fallen off the cliff and then some. Haven't you noticed the missed tackles and how offenses target the guys being covered by our LBs? Nobody is hating on Fletcher, but the numbers and play do not support any notion of "high level".

Honestly, what's the likelihood we can snag him? Not good odds I'd bet.

Fletcher is banged up...so we may put a claim. Still, I think he clears waivers.

Why? Because of his contract or the odd nature of his release?

I still think we should claim him too, but I don't think we win it.

has he even been released yet?

I just have a gut feeling that it would be either one of these two things (or both). Plus the Raiders always get the shaft in these situations. I don't know, just a gut feeling.

has he even been released yet?

If he is, he'll pop up on the waiver list at 4pm

No hate. Dudes been giving it 110 % for years. All good things must end though.

I never would have guessed this thread would have been created before 2020. He was supposed to be the safest pick in his class. Even more so then the likes of Eric Berry, Joe Haden, and Russell OKUNGGGGGG! Top 15 linebackers seem to have a higher bust rate then QB's and DT's. Von Miller is the only college linebacker I can think of in recent years that met expectations.

Aaron Curry was supposed to be the safest pick in his class too, and that didn't work out well either.
