[ame="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5141392"]Sources: Oakland Raiders getting set to release JaMarcus Russell - ESPN@@AMEPARAM@@http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5142282@@AMEPARAM@@5142282[/ame]

Russell will have been paid $39 million since going to the team as a first-round pick in 2007.

Russell, who will turn 25 in August, has won only seven of his 25 starts as the Raiders extended an NFL-worst streak to seven straight seasons with at least 11 losses in 2009. He has completed just 52.1 percent of his passes in his career with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.

That means Russell has been paid more than $5 million per win, more than $2 million per touchdown pass and more than $100,000 per completion.

:nonono:

I think we can officially put him above Ryan Leaf on the list of worst draft busts of all time.

Man he blows....i must say that Andre Ware from the lions was a worse bust. He went from heisman, to first round, to 3rd string :shrug:.

 

[SLVRBLT]

LMAO

The worst #1 draft pick in NFL history.

EDIT: Along with Vick.

 

[amigrad06]

His only saving grace is he is only 24 years old, and maybe another team can take him on as a project and he can learn. Or he gets cut, spends the next 10 years in a cocaine haze and dies in a hotel room.

 

[svtsmo]

so when are the raiders going to release al davis?

 

[SLVRBLT]

so when are the raiders going to release al davis?

When he dies.

 

[swoosh_stang]

so when are the raiders going to release al davis?

If he would take a step back, hire a good team president and let them run the team, the raiders would come back. Until then, Raiders fans will have to be happy with the hope of one good year in ten.

NO WAY.

He's no where near te level of failure in life as well as sports as Leaf is.

 

[blackvenom77]

NO WAY.

He's no where near te level of failure in life as well as sports as Leaf is.

That's what I was thinking, man he turned out to be a giant douche.

 

[rfat16]

That's why the NFL should put a CAP on rookies. Make them have a 2 year contract for a minimal amount. No one should get paid huge contracts before playing a down. That and if you throw a hissy and holdout you should have to pay the club if you end up sucking huge amounts of Dong like this douche waffle.

Vick- Hell at least Vick played and has talent.

 

[SLVRBLT]

Vick- Hell at least Vick played and has talent.

At the end of the day, he didn't live up to this #1 pick status.

 

[rfat16]

No he didn't but i don't think he's on the same level as leaf and russell

 

[swoosh_stang]

NO WAY.

He's no where near te level of failure in life as well as sports as Leaf is.

Leaf:
Career Earnings: 14 million

Russell:
Career Earnings: 39 million

Are you sure?

 

[65fastback2+2]

good. he's a sack of crap on the field and a terrible teammate sitting on the bench too

 

[x NOODLES x]

Leaf:
Career Earnings: 14 million

Russell:
Career Earnings: 39 million

Are you sure?

An emphatic, YES.

Who cares about money?? These owners have tons to blow.

 

[swoosh_stang]

They're both failures, I would place the more expensive failure as the bigger bust.

 

[SLVRBLT]

He'll be picked up by someone. He has a cannon of an arm. He would be a great pickup for the Steelers.
