    The Raiders signed JaMarcus Russell to a six-year contract that guaranteed him $32 million as the No. 1 pick of the 2007 NFL draft -- he earned a base salary of $7.8 million this season. The Raiders could cut Russell after this season and take just a modest salary-cap hit. He is slated to earn base salaries of $9.45 million next season, $9.35 million in 2011 and $5.83 million in 2012.

    please cut him, what a waste of cap and a first round pick. No one will trade for him and that salary.

    Too much invested already. Don't see them cutting him. I'd be curious to see what would happen if he had a premier QB coach teach him for a couple years.
