Mobile native JaMarcus Russell and the
Oakland Raiders agreed in principle last night to a six-year
contract that will guarantee the quarterback more than $30 million
in the richest contract ever for a rookie.
The final contract needs to be approved by the NFL. According to
a person familiar with the deal, it will be worth at least $60
million with about $31 million guaranteed. An announcement could
come today.
It's not likely the former LSU standout will not be able to
contribute much to the Raiders anytime soon after missing all of
training camp, the preseason and the first week of the regular
season.
