Raiders want money back from JaMarcus

JaMarcusRussell1 231x300 Raiders want money back from JaMarcusThe Oakland Raiders have filed a grievance against former No. 1-overall pick JaMarcus Russell. They want some $9.55 million back and shockingly, it has nothing to do with his horrific play on the field.

The Raiders contend that his 2007 contract got tweaked at one point and that he’s not allowed to keep all of the money he “earned” prior to his May 7th release.

Russell was guaranteed $32 million in his rookie contract. That now looks like one of – if not the – biggest financial mistakes in NFL history.

“We have filed a grievance against JaMarcus Russell and that’s all we’re going to say at this time,” Raiders attorney Jeff Birren said.

“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,” said Eric Metz, JaMarcus Russell’s agent, who may have done more to earn his small portion of Russell’s money than JaMarcus did to get his amount. “The Raiders know that and this is our only comment.”

The idea that JaMarcus owes anyone anything is remarkable to us. He gave that organization everything he had. No one can dispute that.

  1. I rather watch Tiger have a train wreck than seeing another grinder pull a one off win out of his hat. Can you really expect a Graeme McDowell or Louis Oosthuizen to win another major? And as bad as Tiger is playing, Phil Mickelson should have replaced him as the new Number 1 but Phil has somehow managed to play worse than Tiger.

    You know, no other country is lax about allowing illegal immigrants to stay.. Europe is extremely hard to dupe, and it’s hard to even get citizenship in a lot of EU countries… but once again America is full of bleeding hearts who would rather band-aid the problem by sticking up for these people instead if suggesting attacking the problem head on and helping them make their own countries better

  3. OMG, if you wanna go where drama belongs. Check this. When Tila Tequila entered middle school, she developed a “tomboy” attitude and got into a lot of fights. She eventually was sent to a boarding school for 6 months before transferring schools again. In high school, Tila started using her sister’s identification cards to get into nightclubs and bars where she began drug abuse and joined a gang. I kind of feel bad for the girl, but she does love the attention, let me tell you. It is no surprise that she is stuck in a sex tape controversey.
