The JaMarcus Russell Watch

Now what?

The most inept organization in the National Football League made a step in the right direction by cutting ties with former No. 1 overall pick, JaMarcus Russell. Since then, Russell hasn't attracted much interested around the league, which is understandable considering his fitness and commitment issues. The Raiders threw away about $40 million over the last three years on this guy and it looks as though the rest of the league is hesitant to give him another shot right away.

Bengals say "thanks, but no thanks"

There were rumours circulating late last week about a possible fit with (who else?) the Cincinnati Bengals. Chad Ochocinco dropped a tweet about seeing Russell at minicamp, but the Bengals have backed off since then. Right now, it looks as though Russell's best option might be to play in the CFL. That's half a world away from his playboy days in Oakland.
