JaMarcus Russell Lost Job After Popped For Drugs

Following his release by the Raiders in May, no team has shown any real interest in his services, the Raiders are taking Russell to court to demand a large chunk of his bonus money back, and now this.

Russell should've had a chance to hook on with a team once the season started, at the latest, presuming at least one of the 32 NFL teams was going to lose a quarterback to injury and therefore be willing to give the guy another chance.

It's unclear at this point how serious this charge is, if the charge will stick, and what NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell might do about it should it get to that point. The only point of clarity in this whole situation is that Russell is having about as bad a year as a person can have.

Russell has made a series of very poor decisions over the last few years, beginning with his lackadaisical approach to his career, poor conditioning, and a seeming inability to learn from his mistakes.

The results of his poor decision-making now are coming home to roost, and this latest incident may be an indication of a larger problem. It also may be an indication of why the Raiders were so willing to let him go.

If the Raiders' front office was aware of encroaching problems off the field, combined with his on-field failures, it makes his release make a lot more sense.

The saga of JaMarcus Russell is far from over. There is little doubt about that. The question now is whether this story will turn into one of redemption or of tragedy with an ending no one wants to see.
