The Ravens placed the inside linebacker and former first-round pick on the reserve/retired list Wednesday afternoon, General Manager Ozzie Newsome announced.

“Rolando let me know that he plans to retire from the NFL,” Newsome stated. “We have placed him on the Reserve/Retired list.”

Will he "unretire" after his suspensions are cleared up?

From what I've read the Ravens retain his rights and there is even a possibility he returns to the team later this year.

I wish I knew what 'back at Alabama' means - I guess he can't be a player so is he a coach or is he just training with them to stay in shape?

Apparently he enrolled and has returned to complete his degree.

Retired ILB Rolando McClain worked out for the Ravens on Tuesday.

That's the good news. The bad news, according to NFL Network and the Baltimore Sun, is that McClain was not only out of shape, but showed up late. McClain just doesn't get it. Although he's still only 24, the odds are against him cracking someone's 53-man roster this season.

And retired again. This story looks to be over.

Traded to the Cowboys.

Interrupt soccer for this: Dallas traded 6th-rd pick for LB Rolando McClain and Baltimore's 7th-rd pick, per source. McClain wants to play.

At that price, why not take the chance?

Looks like Dallas finally solved their defense problem

Quick little quote from a Raider beat writer chat:

Q: Excited to see Rolando Mclain in training camp?

A: You bet. About as excited as he was to practice, speak with the media and mingle with the fans. That charade won't last long.
