JaMarcus Russell and the Raiders have reportedly agreed in principle to a six-year contract that includes at least $31 million in guarantees.
The deal is expected to be worth as much as $60 million if Russell reaches all incentives. After missing training camp and the preseason, it's extremely unlikely that Russell will get starts before midseason, but if the Raiders keep losing to teams like the Lions, upper management will undoubtedly push hard for a late-season switch to the rookie.
