Russell released on $2,500 bond
MOBILE, Ala. -- Former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has been charged with possession of a controlled substance -- codeine syrup -- after being arrested at his home in Alabama on Monday, authorities said.The 24-year-old former LSU star and the No. 1 draft choice in 2007 was arrested as part of an undercover narcotics investigation, said Mobile County Sheriff's spokeswoman Lori Myles. She would not say what led to his arrest. She said he did not have a prescription for the codeine.
Russell, who graduated from high school in Mobile, was booked into the city jail and released soon afterward on $2,500 bond, online records show.
The Raiders released Russell, considered one of the NFL's biggest draft busts, in May after he won only seven of his 25 starts and was benched. He completed just 52.1 percent of his passes in his career with 18 touchdowns, 23 interceptions, 15 lost fumbles and a passer rating of 65.2.
Oakland paid Russell about $36.4 million through the 2009 season. Since the start of the common draft in 1967, only one other No. 1 pick was released this quickly in his NFL career. Indianapolis cut 1992 top pick Steve Emtman after three seasons, but that was more because of injuries than production.
Russell and his agent did not immediately return calls for comment.

Sorry bro...'least he's gone...and now you know how he got so fat..
The Raiders have so much fail lately that it's not even funny anymore.
Well..they did finally have a decent draft...or at least it seems so..
There's nothing wrong with purple drank, yallz who are against it are just haters.
Never liked the taste myself...and it'll make you fat as ..just ask Paul Wall.
I tried it for the first time today (lol ESPN's special getting me interested in it) and it tastes delicious. You need to use Jolly Ranchers.
yeah sippin it will get you constipated. thats why when you hear some of Big Moe it echoes because he was always on the toilet and they would record him in the bathroom while hes takin a .
i prefer to lace a blunt with the syrup, a little dab will do ya
Well, he can still try the CFL (Hamilton Tiger-Cats have his rights) or the UFL (Omaha Nighthawks) if he wants to try to keep a football career.
Of course, he recently said he wouldn't play anywhere but the NFL...
The worst francise in the game. Until Davis is out, this team will suck for a long time. Then again, he probably doesn't have much time left. So change should be right around the corner
If only.
Ginormous Russel.
that piece of
Jolly Ranchers? How the do you use that? syrup, sprite, and jolly's?
on point
its supposed to be made with jolly ranchers.
Guess I never had that version..lol...just the syrup and sprite...
I faked a cough and got a prescription no problem, Russell has to be a giant re to get caught with this unprescribed.
Yes Finally! My dream of a quarterback has been released right into my hands
I was thinking 8 years for $170 million, minimum.
Also thinking about bringing Mike Williams back, these guys both played in Oakland and have a great chemistry together.
I got them rainbow colors in my cup
Jolly ranchers man that be good as
