Are Le'Ron McClain's Days in Baltimore Numbered?
The Ravens just recently signed FB Jason Mckie. The deal doesn't have any details at this point in time. The signing of McKie makes me wonder if McClain will be released this off-season. Just days after Baltimore's disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, McClain stated he no longer wanted to be a Raven. I don't think McClain is that big of a loss if he is cut ties with. McClain is a two time Pro Bowler in his career. McClain had his best season in 08 while apart of the Baltimore Ravens three headed monster along with Ray Rice and Willis McGahee. McClain had 902 yards rushing, 10 touchdowns on the ground and averaged 3.9 yards a carry. People tend to forget that the Ravens had one of the best fullbacks of all time leading the way for this three headed monster. Who is that fullback you ask? He goes by the name of Lorenzo Neal. Neal was a freak of nature when leading a running back through the whole. McClain would of never had this type of a season without Lorenzo Neal leading the way for him. Since Baltimore released Neal, McClain's number have digressed. So If the Ravens do in fact cut McClain I won't be shedding tears. McKie is a good signing for the Ravens. He is a big physical back that could lead the way for Ray Rice for years to come.
