Bo was drafted by the Bucs in 86, but opted to play baseball instead. Him not signing with Tampa was purely because of his desire to play baseball. The reason why he was selected (7th round) late in 87 was because no one knew if he was going to stay in baseball or not. So while I can see your point about this, it's a totally different scenario. But I guess you did answer my question...if he doesn't sign, then he goes into next years draft?

That's a horrible attitude!!! This man was scouted and WANTED to play in Oakland, but he's too selfish to get on the field. I hope Russell never plays in the NFL after this horrible display. Either he signs before his teams last preseason game, or I don't want to ever see him the NFL. This is disgusting! He should be ashamed of himself. This is exactly what is wrong with athletes today! The NFL should come up with a new rule, that if a team drafts you, they own you for 5 years until a contract is made to avoid this. They should also come up with a system of pay for draft picks.

Re: JaMarcus Russell Still Holding Out
I don't remember Russell "wanting" to play in Oakland. I thought he had said if they were gonna draft him they better be ready to pay him, or something like that.
Who's his agent?

Re: JaMarcus Russell Still Holding Out
If he doesn't sign he enters the NFL Draft again next year, only next year he will be drafted much lower because he can't play college football again and therefore it will have been an entirely wasted year.

If I'm Al Davis, I threaten to pull the offer now to get him to sign. (Course if I was Al Davis, I wouldn't have drafted him in the first place). |

Re: JaMarcus Russell Still Holding Out
Yeah I also wonder what kind of compensation the Raiders would get if they didn't sign Russell at all. You can't just lose the first overall pick in the draft and get minimal compensation for it.

Re: JaMarcus Russell Still Holding Out
Remember when everyone thought we were scouting Russell down at LSU?
Fools. I think the NFL should strong arm the Union and make all Rookie Contracts a guaranteed three year deal, at a reasonable rate. Then after at is up the team can sign the player to huge money. Think of all of the money that wouldn't have been wasted on First round busts. Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf.... Kind of make it like the NBA rookie contracts. Here it is, this is the only contract you can get, take it or leave it.
