He could be released from his contract, per WFAA's Mike Leslie:
Texted high-ranking #Cowboys source, asking if they expect McClain to face 10-game ban & if they'd consider cutting him?
Response: Yes

To be clear -- the wording of the text was "consider". It's not a done deal, by any means. But given his past issues, it has to be debated.

McClain is under a one-year, $1.25 million contract and he'll miss more than half of the team's games assuming a Super Bowl run isn't in the team's cards.
In five seasons, McClain has registered 407 tackles, 9.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and four interceptions.
