He needs to put some respeck on the name.

He's got no shot because now all the 31 other GMs know he just sent them a form letter replacing "Dallas" and "Cowboys" with their respective city and team name.

One. Russell is not broke. An older gentleman that I worked with is from Mobile, still lives there, and knows the Russell family well. Was around him from the time he was a little boy, up until now.

Two. I hope he does get another shot. Atleast a tryout. I believe in giving people chances, and sometimes it takes some individuals quite a few chances before they get it right. Do I think he's able to come back and start in the league? No. I do think he's good enough to be a second or third string guy. 

Honestly, I think it's too late for Russell, but I do hope he atleast gets a tryout. I just believe he's doing this because he doesn't like the way he went out. Wants to right some of his wrongs and change people's perception of him

I wouldn't mind seeing him get a second chance, not here of course, but somewhere else in the league. I'd much rather allow him another shot to prove himself than say giving Johnny Manziel multiple attempts. He seems to be really passionate about trying to get back into the league and I haven't heard of any stories lately of negative behavior from him so he could be worth a shot for some of the teams in the league.

OK so who REALLY wrote that letter. 

My sources claims Ryan Leaf allowed him to reuse left overs from his last batch (So far 31 quick thank but no thanks replies, but the Oilers are yet to answer so there is hope) 

[Jangler]

How long since he played in a game? 

:)

7, and he's 30....good luck with that. At least Kurt Warner was playing before the Rams.

[Jeremy Igo]

Remember when some folks here, that shall rename nameless, compared Cam Newton to Russell? 

 

 

lol

Man, I don't get the hate. Russell is entitled to his second chance just like Fitzpatrick or Young... or any human who has made a mistake in life. I applaud him for trying to fight his way back and restore some honor to his name. He doesn't have to. JaMarcus could just stay home and enjoy his wealth but he wants to play. He wants a "grand" or "soldier's" death. I say give it to him.

He was lazy as all hell in Oakland. That is the biggest knock against him as a player, and one of the worst stigmas to shake. Tom Cable once gave him a blank DVD and told him it was filled with that week's game plan and to watch it that night. Russell comes in the next day and Cable asks him about the game plan and Russell said everything looked good. 

He gained a ton of weight, even while he was still playing, and then he left the league due to his dependency on codeine. A few years ago he tried at another comeback, but when he was awarded the 3 mil from the raiders, he stopped trying again.

That's why he's not really getting another shot. The teams can't trust him. I'll admit he looks like he's in shape these days, but did he ever really have the skills to be a good QB in the first place? If I'm a QB needy team I might kick the tires for the hell of it, but I wouldn't sign him without knowing I owed him nothing in the event I cut him.

Yep, always a bad look to bad mouth a former employer regardless of the truth behind your statements.

*Unless its the Raiders

[pantherclaw]

Russell couldn't lead 5lbs of nails out of a wet paper bag.

I'm all for 2nd chances, I just don't believe he could show any team enough to be worthy of a roster spot.

He wrote one to every team by the way so I'm sure we've got one floating around BoA that the front office staff are laughing about.

It's probably sitting in the shitter.
