JaMarcus Russell reportedly weighed in at 278 pounds when he showed up to the Raiders after signing his $61 million rookie contract.

Wow. Russell made headlines at the Combine for weighing in at 265, which was slightly heavier than his playing weight at LSU. He was also said to have ballooned to 300+ during his early college days. With weight to shed and an offense to learn, don't count on Russell getting playing time soon.

I told you he looked hella fat in those films from Alabama. They better have a weight clause in his contract. 278 lbs and how many millions did you say you wanted?

Not a good sign when someone fights for a big contract, get it and they show up out of shape, now that is dedication. Make excuses all you want, that shows poor work ethic and character.

That's funny, I have'nt heard any other news outlets including Raider Dee and the local Raider beat writers that are with the team every single day mention a weight problem. Sounds like more false rumor mongering to me. I call http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...1/bsflag-1.gif

If it's true, thats just sorry....I still have no idea why the Raiders decided to look past all the warning signs.

I don't know what to believe. Raider Dee said he looked in good shape when he saw him.
