It seems like it’s almost that time – when the Raiders and Al Davis will part with former 1st overall pick JaMarcus Russell. If the Raiders were to keep Russell on the roster for opening day they would owe him a $6 million roster bonus. When you add that to his salary that would total almost $10 million to essentially hold a clipboard. There’s talk that the Raiders will ask Russell to take a pay cut, but word is that Russell will not accept. I would expect to see Russell gone before mini camp next week, as they don’t want to risk injury which would force them to pay him.
