Russell Asking To Much

JaMarcus Russell, the first overall selection in the 2007 draft by the Oakland Raiders is still holding out. Persons inside of the negotiations have said that the reason it is taking so long is because supposedly Russell is asking for more money than most high profile starting quarterbacks make. He is looking for more than what second pick Calvin Johnson received from the Lions (6yr/64m). That would be to much money for the Raiders who do not have the salary cap room for that kind of deal. Expect negotiations to heat up in the next week before the signing deadline.
