The Oakland Raiders are preparing to release quarterback JaMarcus Russell but have to await the final word to release him from owner Al Davis, according to sources.
Russell
Russell is on the books for $9.45 million this season, including $3 million of guaranteed money. Since trading for former Washington Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell on Saturday, the Raiders have studied Russell's contract and tried to figure out ways to release him to save the organization some money.
If he gets the $3 million (and sources expect that he will), Russell will have been paid $39 million since coming to the team as a first-round pick in 2007.
The Raiders have a minicamp Friday and it's very possible Russell could be released before then. If Davis doesn't give the go-ahead to release him before Friday, he might attend the minicamp, but the team might not let him practice, fearing that he would suffer an injury and leave the team liable for the $9.45 million in salary.

thats the thing to do for players that
-luv the game
-didnt get a fair chance
-didnt sign a big deal
jamarcus got the big deal,got a fair chance and he is not dedicated
Lagerrate Blount told the 9ers to ? off so he could sign with the Titans cuz he would get a better shot there... and they offered him more momey
what reason would jamarcus have for showing up to practice and signing a 1.8 million dollar deal...there is no motivation and thats why he is 290 lbs now -

the motivation will come from him looking at his bank account after buying dumb ? and realizing he has no choice but to improve or become homeless being that this is already his last shot at making it in the league but with Jamarcus you just dont know the ? just doesnt seem to get it -

Let's see...
Taxes
Mortgage on his big as house
Payments on bout 5 cars he probably has included with the rims, tinted windows, playstation 3 in the ride, sound system
Payments on ht dumb jewelry
Payments to his agents, PR personnel
Child support payments to present and future babymomas
Other miscellaneous expenses
That leaves the ? with roughly 100,000 dollars in cash
Hope he saves that money!!! -
