Raiders Say QB JaMarcus Russell Will Compete To Start

New Raiders QB Jason Campbell said Saturday that he considers himself the new Oakland starter but Raiders coach Tom Cable isn't quite ready to make the same pronouncement. Cable said this weekend that he's not ready to write off former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, Russell can compete for the starting QB job with Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski with Kyle Boller and Charlie Frye are also on the Raiders' roster: "What it comes down to is that we've got five quarterbacks now and we're going to have a great competition. There will be some decisions to be made here in the next month or so." One of those decisions could be whether Russell -- and his hefty contract -- remains on the roster and if Russell were to get hurt during a Raiders practice in the offseason or preseason, his full salary would be guaranteed.
