IRVING (105.3 THE FAN) - Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain is getting a dismissal of his 2013 misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct in his hometown of Decatur, Alabama, prosecutors on Monday asking the judge to drop the case.

McClain had been accused of cursing at police officers in a park in April.

McClain signed with Dallas last season for the vet's minimum and missed the beginning of training camp due to the legal issue. He was a pivotal part of the Cowboys' 12-4 season but deemed difficult enough by those inside the building to receive nothing more than another inexpensive one-year deal. Nevertheless, he's viewed as a Pro Bowl-level talent and is slated to start at middle linebacker again this season.
