Benched QB JaMarcus Russell didn't win any friends in the Raiders locker room with his statements this week that his teammates are playing better for Gradkowski than they did for him. Russell also said he was against reworking his contract, that he was embarrassed by being benched and he also said he would work harder, something he hasn't done in his first two NFL seasons. He basically has given the Raiders no recourse but to attempt to trade him or potentially release him. Source: FOXSports.com
Why is it even suggested that he is tradeable? Gimme a break. Who would trade for a player this bad with that kind of contract???
..... Why is Jamarcus acting like he's the CRAP? The last time I checked dude averaged like "40 Yards a game!!!" I hope that Al Davis sticks with Bruce beyond this season because the last thing we need is another FIRST ROUND "BUST!" Draft Ndamukong Suh and call it a day...
Russell is an immature butt but this can still be traced back to Davis & Cable as his prime enablers for most of this crap. You get what your hand called for...
Who's going to desperate to trade for Russell and if he gets cut, who's going to be dumb enough to sign him?
Went to the game against the Skins Although the stadium wasn't packed, the boo's were audible. Jabustus has been a megafailure. The Raiders need to get rid of him, and move on. Jafeedme has shown no work ethic at all, and his mega contract is beyond rediculous. Freaking a. Freaking Japayme
It probably comes down to how much Al can save by cutting him, if it isn't much he may decide to keep him. And as far as Suh he might be gone before you guys even pick. Suh is going top 3, probably 1st overall unless something drastic happens. Right now you guys are outside the top 5, but with the fatass you'll probably lose out (although I hope you guys somehow beat the Broncos) so that may give a slight shot at top 5 and maybe Suh, but I doubt TB, Detriot, STL or Clev are going to be winning much.
lol just keep him, and keep him on the bench in favor of anybody else, start a lineman over him. hurt his pride, bring this big dumb snitch down a lot of notches.
He needs to call Tony Dungy and get his life together. Maybe he can spend the rest of his career behind Jim Sorgi and Curtis Painter.....
I honestly do not think he is going to play for the rest of the year, and I honestly believe that the next three games are winnable. As for the draft, well I have no comment since I haven't really looked into it yet.
