McClure was a seventh-round pick out of LSU in 1999 and went on to become one of the team's most durable players. He set a franchise record with 148 consecutive starts and missed only four games over the last dozen seasons. While McClure had hoped to play another year or two, the team is looking to build a younger roster after losing to San Francisco in the NFC championship game.
