Cowboys LB Rolando McClain suspended 10 games
IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain has been suspended for the season's first 10 games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, the league announced.
McClain, 26, was suspended the first four games of last season for violating the policy.
In March, the Cowboys re-signed McClain to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. He is set to receive a $1.25 million base salary and could earn $125,000 for each game he is on the 46-man roster, maxing out at $2 million. He also has $1 million in playing-time incentives.
...
It is another chapter in a tumultuous career for McClain, who was the eighth pick of the 2010 draft by the Oakland Raiders. He was released after the 2012 season in which he was deactivated for the final five games. He retired twice, including after a stint of about one month with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013.
...
Defensive end Randy Gregory will be suspended the first four games. DeMarcus Lawrence, who led the Cowboys with eight sacks last season, also is suspended for four games after his appeal was denied Thursday.

I wouldn't want to clutter up the group with stuff that doesn't interest you, after all.
