Is JaMarcus Russell done in Oakland?

Is life as a Raiders over for JaMarcus Russell, i think so. Its is likely that he will be released before the start of the season, if not this week then when the Raiders make there final roster cuts.

There is a possibility of the Raiders holding on to Russell for the remainder of the season as a back up for Jason Campbell who was acquired via a trade from the Redskins for a 4Th Round pick in the 2012 draft . The only reason i can see them keeping Russell on the roster for the whole season is because he knows the offence, well he is supposed to..

Russell was draft in 2007 as the 1st overall pick. Since then that has really been the high light of his career. In his 1st season as a Raiders he played in 4 games throwing 2 Touchdowns and 4 interceptions. In his second year he improved, playing in all but 1 game during the 2008 season, he Threw 13 Touchdowns and 8 interceptions. Not amazing numbers but at least he had more touchdowns than interceptions this year. Last year he managed to show the NFL what he was really was, which isn't a NFL quarterback. He played in 12 games throwing just 3 touchdowns to his 11 interceptions.

It really does seem like his time is up in Oakland, he has had his time to adapt to the NFL and he hasn't. I mean maybe its not all JaMarcus's fault some people do say that a player is only as good as the team he play for. Maybe if he went to some were like the Jets, Ravens or Falcons. Then maybe his career would be a whole lot different, but then we get to the what ifs and the could have been and that a road no one should go down.

I think Raiders should release this guy, he ain't done anything for them over the 3 years he has been there. Plus they are about to talk a $9 million hit to the salary cap if they don't get rid of him soon. If your Tom Cable you get rid of him, you have a Jason Campbell who hasn't really had a lighting start to his career but things can change and he still a big step up from Russell. Paying Russell $9 million to sit on the bench isn't a wise move. There are better Free agents out there that could back Campbell up, for less money.
