Darrell Russell

I'm waiting for someone to say we should offer him a veteran minimum deal filled with incentives.... any takers?

LOL

why not, what do we have to lose at the 2nd DT spot. I think Russel showed some signs of being good again next year. He did do well before he started getting caught with drugs didnt he? THen he was suspended and got out of football shape. At this point though they are plenty of players out there that havent been suspended that deserve more of a shot at a starting job

We have a winner! :lol:

Joe just got rid of Ware over public intox, do you guys really, realllllllly think he'd bring Russell in for a try? NO WAY! This DT is finished as a productive NFL player, but he could start his own filmmaking company. ;)

Russell showed signs? When? He was barely on the field, LOL

To me it seems this guy just isn't hungry anymore. The fact that Gruden gave up on him this early really says a lot.

He's not a "Gibbs-type guy" - he won't use common sense and he will embarass us off-field. No way we should take him, even if he has any upside at all.

Maybe Russell feels that he doesn't have to prove himself till the season starts. He was a monster DL before his off field problems caught up with him. It's not the same situation as Darryl Gardener as he had off the field, bad locker room presence, and a bad back. Russell doens't have his own regimen. And it seems that no team so far is willing to wait for him to get into shape.

No Doubt!!! Put a fork in him. Russell is done!!

i thought it was stupid when we picked him up... then he was late for everything and out of shape... i can't even believe another team would bother. Now i'm pretty sure his career is over... hope he didnt waste all that cash on pills and such ;), he's gonna need it.

other teams will bother because its hard to find someone with his talent at defensive tackle. if this guy had 3/4 of the drive most players have and a clear head, then he'd be a pro-bowler every year.
