ALAMEDA -- Middle linebacker Rolando McClain has essentially been given a clean slate by Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie.McClain was sentenced to 180 days in jail and fined 2,000 after being found guilty on May 17 of third-degree assault, menacing, discharging a handgun in city limits and reckless endangerment in Alabama for an incident that occurred last November. His case is currently under appeal and McClain has missed only one week of OTAs during the Raiders' offseason training program."Since we've been here, he's been great," McKenzie told a group of reporters in a roundtable session following the end of mandatory minicamp on Thursday. "I'm not going to hold anything over his head about what he's done in the past. We're only concerned what he does from here on out."Still, McKenzie acknowledged that the Raiders might be without the No. 8 overall pick from the 2010 draft for the 2012 season for legal reasons or a suspension from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell."Oh yeah, that's part of our deal, just sit and wait for that process to kind of take its course. Absolutely. The only thing we can do is sit and wait."
