Almost official: Jamarcus Russell THE biggest bust in NFL history

NEW YORK – JaMarcus Russell may be finally on the way out. Sources close to SBReport.net have indicated that the former number one overall choice in the 2007 draft will be cut.

After lackluster efforts every season since he’s been drafted, a poor work ethic and an uninspiring disposition, the Raiders are realizing that the time is now to cut ties with the dormant passer. The acquisition of Jason Campbell and fiery play of Bruce Gradkowski have convinced the Raiders to let those two signal callers go at it for the starting spot in 2010.

Russell, who signed a six-year contract out of college, worth up to $68 million with $31.5 million in guarantees, held out before landing the mega-deal and has been the ire of Oakland’s fan-base.

Honestly I thought this thread would get more attention. I guess too many left wingers have you on ignore.

or not enough people give two shits about the raiders or Russel to spend the time to reply!!!

said all along that all sports need some sort of incentive heavy contracts so that teams don't get screwed over like this...but, it's the chance you take when you draft/sign someone, you just never know what you are gonna get out of them

yeah id vote for leaf right now but if russell doesnt do anything and is out of the league in a couple years then it might be him because he has made alot more money. i still think there is hope for him if he gets on a better team with better coaching and more talent.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
