Chargers released FB Le'Ron McClain. McClain was set to count over $3 million against the cap in the final year of his contract. The Bolts save $2.5 million against the cap with the move. In coach Mike McCoy's first year running the offense, McClain, 29, saw his snaps reduced significantly. It was an easy call for GM Tom Telesco. Due to his still relatively young age and the fact that he's missed just one career game, McClain is now the top free agent lead blocker. It's a position that isn't used much anymore, though.
