| 04:36 PM ET 08.08 | It has been a few long, long months since the Raiders drafted JaMarcus Russel, and he and his agents are still playing the argument that the Raiders won't throw in an injury and skill clause. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means that if Russel is injured, possibly for his career, or just a long time, the Raiders have to pay him ht esame salery as he would if he was palying to sucre his financial future. Skill clauses are there for the player if he doesn't pan out, he can still get part of his salery, just as if he would have played great. Russel and his agents also want a half a million dollars more per year than Mario Williams got on his contract last year. Lets face it, Mr. Davis: The Raiders don't have high profile players on their roster, which means pleanty of cap room, so just sign him!
