JaMarcus Russell Was Once Asked To Participate in a Rookie Talent Show, But Instead Brought in a Backpack Full Of Money And Made It Rain on His Teammates

So your first question has to be what kind of dollar bills are we talking here. Well, as the story goes, it was about 5,000 $1 bills. So JaMarcus Russell basically treated his teammates like a bunch of strippers. Not the best start to gelling with your guys if you ask me. If you’re going to pull this move you have to drop at least like $50,000 and make it worth your guys while. You just signed a $61 million deal with $32 mill guaranteed, live a little JaMarcus. Imagine how excited everyone got in the room when he started dumping out the cash, only to realize it was just $1 bills. Making that kind of error in judgement had to be the first sign he was going to be a bust. The only guy who was probably excited was Josh McCown because he could use every dollar he could find.

Fast forward to now and I bet JaMarcus wishes he could have that 5 grand back in his pocket. Can’t imagine he has one cent of his $32 million left to his name.

Throwback to the best JaMarcus Russell story ever. He was handed a DVD “full of plays and ideas” by a Raiders coach to go review and critique. He came back the next day saying he learned it all, only to find out the DVD was actually blank.
