So it looks like it will be Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski now for the starting job in Oakland...
In an interview with Josh Dubow, Oakland Senior executive John Herrera said JaMarcus Russell's three season are over and that "we wish him well."
The decision comes less than two weeks after Oakland acquired Jason Campbell from Washington.
Russell is definitely now in rare air: being considered the biggest draft bust in NFL history along with guys like Tony Mandarich and Ryan Leaf. He will have been paid more than $39 million by the Raiders in exchange for only seven wins- almost $6-million per victory... if our math is right...
He lost his starting job midway through last season to several other quarterbacks.
So, his Raiders history of being a rookie holdout, having poor work habits, being
overweight and not having a cast good enough to win will be with his pro football reputation.
He's got that going for him...
Here's the video of him sacking himself, just because we can show it again...

More when we know more...
