Hopefully your team steps right up to sign this intelligent, dedicated, finely sculpted athlete!
Nice!
You are correct. There is no cap to have a penalty against. Just cost Al's money.
As what? Security guard?
He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.No as the starting quarterback.
My vote is Russell. He didn't care. He didn't try. He didn't care to try or try to care.
The modern day Scarlet Letter.How many people would accept $30mm+ in exchange for having fingers pointed & people laughing at you the final 50-60 years of your life? I liken Rusell's collapse to an 8-year old child actor who cannot find work at age 18.

The starting QB for the BUFFALO BILLS
Oh. My bad.He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.
I want some of whatever you're smoking.Edwards-Brohm-Fitzpatrick are each individually superior to JBust.Hell, they're each better than also-riding-the-Raiders-pine-former-Bills-starter JP Losman.
So true.Until they find a way to measure "heart" at the scouting combine, there will always be jagoffs like this.
Does Buffalo have an arena league team?He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.No as the starting quarterback.
That's nice. They play both ways in Arena, right? QB/DT. Sweet.Does Buffalo have an arena league team?He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.
He wouldn't start for the Buffalo School of Copy Machine Repair! Congrats to all Raiders fans for finally getting Crazy Uncle Al to do the right thing and ship him. (If he does in fact admit his mistake) Please have him drive through Dallas in his pimped up, over priced Cash Cowmobile, and pick up Dallas BUST, Roy Williams on his way to Buffalo.He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.
You're fishing, right? Why would you want him in Buffalo? Unless you're a Jets/Dolphins/Patriots fan.He can't play for University of Buffalo, he renounced his college eligibility when he declared for the draft.
Now we know why you're not the GM in Buffalo, thanks for clearing that up.
Definitely he belongs to the Hall of Infamy at QB (I'd add David Klingler and a few others to the BUST list, but the above is a representative selection of the sort of player that Russell will be remembered as).
Once he had his $31.5 million, it was all over except for trips to the buffet, evidently. Absolutely no effort for the Raiders, I agree.
You think people are going to point fingers and laugh? Jamarcus Russell could show up at my front door right now, and I'd have no idea who he was, unless he was wearing a Raiders uni, and a jersey with his name on it. He was no great success, but his recognizability factor approaches zero, so I think he'll probably get along all right.
I'd still go with Leaf but that's compounded by the fact that Beatherd completely screwed the team for almost a decade in the trade with Arizona to move up 1 spot, just a few weeks after A had given Plummer the biggest contract in team history and was deadset on drafting that Eric W(?) defensive player. SD gave up their 1st rounder for two years and a few key role players. Dumbest draft day trade coupled with complete flameout QB who narrowly avoided a lengthy jail sentence...Leaf edges out Russell.
This uncapped year came at a very nice time for Oakland.
Jane?
Carpenter hasn't lived up to his billing, but at least the guy shows up to work and gives a respectable level of effort. He may still have a decent career, I agree with you there. Russell never brought his "A" game to the field, IMO. He just didn't care, as others have pointed out. I doubt very much that someone signs him/gives him a second chance. My
.
yeah, it was terrible the way the Raiders made him not work hard.
Campbell spoke to the team before the trade, and said in an interview on NFLN that he is the starter.
Outlaw structures lead to outlaw players. I was never in love with him as a top 3 pick, I just didn't think his skills translated to the pros, but you couldn't have dropped a guy like that into a worse environment. If he could do 2 years in Indy or NE as a #3qb, I think you'd see a whole new guy who might salvage something of his career.As you point out though, he has to want it, which has not shown yet.
Sometimes. And sometimes players get paid and don't care. Players go to Indy and the Pats and don't work out. Whose fault is that?
Al's
Dang. He owes Adalius Thomas dinner or something.
