Raiders release JaMarcus Russell

Gotta wonder if any team will take a chance on him
the one team that first comes to mind is the one that just cut him

maybe if he beats someone up Cincinnati can look at him

As they would say in the Sopranos: "Worthless Fat Fuck"

No Vet min. Quarterback first round next year learns under donavan. IMO he would make one hell of a guard, but probably too slow to be a tackle.
Why do you think that he'd make a good guard? He's probably got higher bodyfat than a lot of guards, probably not nearly as strong as most of them. He'd have to change his whole body, the weight isn't the only thing. At 6'6" he's kind of tall for a guard as well. Plus, he's spent all of his time trying to AVOID the DL, linebackers, etc. I've never seen anything that projects him as even a PROSPECT for guard.. or even tight end.

He should take a year off, hire a personal trainer, hire a QB guru to mentor him, and try to earn a shot at returning next year.

He is done in the NFL. Arena Football maybe or something similar, but I think we've seen the last of him in an NFL uniform...

Who's saying that?

Ok, one of the guys on Sirius NFL now is making the case for JaMarcus coming to learn under Shanahan/McNabb and be our 3rd stringer. I just don't buy it.

the guy simply doesn't have the will to make it in the NFL. this is why pro days really mean nothing. russell had the best pro day ever yet turned out to be the biggest bust ever. his career is over but he still got 39 mil. hope he saved his $.

He'll be an Indianapolis Colt. :D

Ugh.

I doubt Shanahan wants to take on a mega-project like him. I wouldn't want a guy like that in the locker room either. Not that he's a bad guy from what I've read, but he's definitely a big time slacker.

I absolutely agree. I can't see MS wanting a guy who failed basically because he didn't want to work at his trade. Not even a little.

(it was Bob Papa, finally got a name yay)
