Dear JaMarcuss,
Dear JaMarcuss,
You are making a big mistake. Do not hide behind your agents. Why are you guys demanding so much money?
Are you proud to be the first first round Raider holdout?
You are a junior with great skill but no pro experience.
The chances of you becoming a bust are greater than the chances of you becoming a HOF or Superbowl winning QB. I am glad that the Raiders and AL Davis are not caving in to your agents so that they can break some record and recruit more players next year.
Seriously, you have 3 years college ball experience, yet you are whining about not getting 35 million. The Raiders offer of 31 Million is more than fair. Seriously is there really a difference in the quality of life you get from 35 million that you can't get from 31 million.
The Raiders fan base is mainly blue collar or working class who prove themselves everyday and for that reason, I will never wear a Russell jersey, no matter how good you become. I rather wear a Morrison jersey. I can relate to Morrison cause he grew up a fan and has sat in the black hole. Today he is overachiever yet underpaid much like me.
If it was up to me i would trade you or release your rights. I would rather give that 30 Million+++ to players like Nnamdi and Burgess who have earned it. I hope Al Davis makes an example out of you to hopefully change the system to prevent top picks from commanding so much money.
Good luck in the draft next year...

That is a load. I commend the Raiders for taking a stand against rookies demanding so much money for not even taking a single snap in the pros. You didn't mention that the Raiders MET the money demands Russell is saking. What is the main point of contention is how much they can recover if Russell either pulls a Michael Vick or worse....a Ryan Leaf. Russellis ultimately the one who loses because he is willfully stunting his future as an NFL QB because of money...which he will make as long as he commits and performs at the level we all know he is capable of playing at.
