Raiders To Release JaMarcus Russell If They Acquire Another QB?

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell weighed 290 pounds when he reported to Alameda earlier this month. Russell has already been paid most of the money guaranteed in his rookie deal and if Al Davis cuts him before this season, he will owe Russell only $3 million more, and won't have to pay the $6.45 Million otherwise due Russell. If the Raiders acquire Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, or any other high-profile QB, Tim Kawakami of The San Jose Mercury News thinks Russell would have to be willing to accept a major pay cut, or be released and Russell has said he wouldn't accept a pay cut.

end career.

 

I don't think Al has jumped off the JaMarcus bandwagon just yet.

 

Oh god please yes.

 

I couldn't see any other NFL team picking him up.

 

no way that douche bag takes a pay cut so give him the three mill and cut his butt regardless

 

Russell Is Garbage

JR needs to get cut hes garbage. I dont want Mcnabb hes old and not nearly as mobile as he used to be. We need to address the o and d line.

 

That would make sense if they did release him. Seems like they are gonna hope this next rookie works out
