Raiders Want Their Money Back from Russell

Raiders file grievance against Russell - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jc-russellgrievance052710)

This should be interesting.

I can't understand this quote though by one of Russell's agents

“The money in question was fully guaranteed. That is why JaMarcus was forced to hold out and miss all of training camp as a rookie,” Metz said. “The Raiders know that and this is our only comment.”

He was forced to hold out because the money was guaranteed?

I think he was saying he held out until the Raiders guaranteed the funds.

I see. Worded oddly

Don't the raiders try to get their money back from everyone?

He wasn't forced to hold out shit. He held out cuz he knew he wanted max money cuz he sucked and he figured he'd rob ol' Al' before he returned to his true passion, eating as much as he wanted.

But no seriously I'm not sure if the Raiders will get their money back. I mean they definitely deserve it back but because of the nature of contracts its really hard to get it back without proving he really messed up. Like Russell would have to do something seriously wrong like on Vick's level to have to give up that money. Being a massive bust (in more ways than one) probably isn't one of those things.

Doesn't Davis still owe Shanahan money?

...and Lane Kiffin or is it the other way around?

They prolly could pay Jason's salary alone just on what that clown Russell received the last year.

just wait for the new cba and the rightly named russell rule, he makes ryan leaf look like a hof'er
