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.

One day in the not too distant future, the Rookie Salary Cap will be referred to as the JaMarcus Clause.

should we sign him so we can have another qb on the roster?

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

Oh, I know that. Just a little Tinderbox humor.

I remember there being considerably more hype around Ryan Leaf than Jamarcus Russell

What it comes down to is that we've got five quarterbacks now and we're going to have a great competition," Cable said. "There will be some decisions to be made here in the next month or so."

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.

Is it me, or do the Raiders and Seahawks share the most 1st round Draft busts. I'm sure the Lions have their fair share!
