Free agent quarterback arrested
Just when it looked like JaMarcus Russell might - just might - have a chance of signing on with the New York Jets, reality got the best of him. And right now, that's some nasty reality.
Russell, who was cut loose by the Oakland Raiders this offseason, was arrested at his home on Monday and charged with the possession of a controlled substance - codeine syrup, which can be mixed with soda to produce "purple drank."The arrest was a result of an investigation that's been going on for a few months and more charges could be on the way. Russell posted bond and was released shortly after.A summer to forget
Not surprisingly, the New York Jets have decided Russell won't be a part of their future plans. They had made a few calls to see if the former No.1 draft pick might be a good fit to back up starter Mark Sanchez. Needless to say, their search continues.
