The former Alabama standout just can’t seem to flee bad habits.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain will be suspended 10 games next season, due to violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. This is his second offense, as McClain was docked four games last season for the same cause. ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter and ESPN NFL Nation reporter Todd Archer (Dallas Cowboys) both were sources behind the story.

McClain re-signed with Dallas back on March 9 for a one-year, $5 million deal. He earned the contract after finishing last year with 97 tackles, two sacks, three passes defended and an interception returned for a touchdown. McClain may have to forfeit his $750,000 signing bonus.
