As everybody knows the NFL drafts #1 pick , JaMarcus Russell, has still not been signed. This is the longest holdout since Bo Jackson chose flat out not to sign. Now if you are a player who has PROVEN yourself in the league then by all means get all the money you can, but as a rookie you should just be focused on getting into camp and work on becoming an NFL star. Its not like the Raiders are offering him a ridiculously low amount of money, he will still be getting paid a fair amount of money. I have a big problem with rookies asking for ridiculously high contracts. YOU have proven nothing, and should be greatful just to be in the league.
I also doubt Jamarcus is helping himself out with this hold out, first off he may not be in great shape when he finally does come in. Secondly one of the questions about Jamarcus coming out was his work ethic, how is it making him look to his teamates if he completely skips out on training camp while they are sweating it out for their roster spot.
So Jamarcus please sign for yourself, your teammates, your fans, and the orginazation that drafted you, in a few years after you prove yourself you can test the free agent market. Until then get into camp and prove you were worth the first pick.
