Dallas Cowboys Linebacker Rolando McClain’s Mansion Erupted In Flames

This morning, SB Nation broke the story about Rolando McClain’s Mansion burning down. The Alabama estate was recently placed on the market for $1.5 million, but as of last night, there is simply nothing left.  The pictures, which was gathered by local news personalities Josh Gauntt and Gary L. Harris, display the unbelievable carnage that took place.

As anyone could see, the fire was fairly uncontrollable: with the photos showing the complete and utter destruction of the situation. There is no word of what caused the fire except that it started roughly 6 pm EST.

McClain is the starting linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, who is having a strong season despite coming out of retirement. The 25-year-old had a shaky past: originally he was picked eighth overall by the Oakland Raiders in 2010, but off the field altercations kept him out, resulting in the organization releasing him in 2013. Since then, he has retired twice, but has found a huge amount of success replacing Sean Lee as the Cowboys’ middle linebacker.
