Raiders Trying To Get Rid Of QB JaMarcus Russell?

Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell signed a six-year deal back in 2007 with the Oakland Raiders that guaranteed him $30 million, he was the No. 1 overall pick in the draft that year. So he was a sure thing, right? But things don't seem to be working out and the rumor is that the team is trying to figure out a way to ditch him, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. QB Charlie Frye is getting the start this weekend against the Denver Broncos after QB Russell performed poorly last weekend when he took over for Bruce Gradkowski, who tore both MCLs during the game against the Washington Redskins.

I think they'll end up eating the full meal on this one because Russell has shown nothing that comes to my mind to suggest that he would be worth anything to any other team in the NFL other than maybe as a motivational speaker speaking against the pitfalls of being an utter heckhead in the NFL.

 

rookie cap anyone ?

 

He is the worst QB in the NFL, I would take Akili Smith over him

 

I would take Rex Grossman and Cade McNown over JaMarcus Russell.


**********Automerged Doublepost**********

Hopefully there is one SOON.

 

I would take Quincy Cart.....nah, I wouldn't go that far :icon_eek:

 

Not sure how true it is but rumor has it Walmart is in the running cuz they're short on greeters for the holiday season....

 

Hey, I bet Al Davis would t... hey, wait a minute.....

I'd take the Sackinator back over him.

 

Maybe they can get 6 dollars in return.

Maybe Al Davis can sell the team and make around 12 dollars

 

I'll take all the aforementioned QBs (including two David Carrs), Michael Vick in a wheelchair and post-knee-blowout Daunte Culpepper as well

 

He would probably over-throw his voice and greet the cart guy instead of the customer.
