richest deal ever for a rookie, 60 mil, at least 30 guaranteed

lol raiders

He's rich, bitch.

Ready for this bust, Raider fans?

[vixticator]

Did the Raiders gave him pretty much what they would have like 4 months ago? Good job not getting him in camp if this is the case. Oh, it's pretty obvious he would get highest rookie salary ever. QB is most expensive position and he was first picked. Anything less would be not even remotely acceptable.

it makes picking like 8th and lower > than picking with one of the top picks because true franchise players are rare and if you're not one you're not close to worth the money on average, and also rapes teams more than they should be raped for busts like russell.

You just have no clue. This guy has so much talent it's unbelieveable.

His biggest problem is being so good that he thinks he can make the impossible throw. A decent QB coach can fix that in no time, then the Raider have a franchise QB for the next 12 years.

teams know what they're getting and they're totally free to change or avoid the situation.

Or we could have spent the cash on an offensive line, Russell isn't going to do anything if he continually gets sacked
