Jamarcus Russell signs with Raiders
WOW.
It sure did take a long time to work out this contract. I guess the Raiders started thinking they better get him in a uniform ASAP.
"Russell will be guaranteed a record $29 million, the highest amount allowed under the NFL's rookie salary pool rules, and would get an additional $3 million if he reaches minimal playing time incentives, the person said.
Russell would earn the $3 million bonus in 2010 if he takes 35 percent of the team's snaps this year, 45 percent in 2008 or 50 percent in 2009. If Russell hit all the incentives in the deal, it would be worth $68 million."
