Yes, the story has legs. Bengals have already added Adam "Pacman" Jones and Matt Jones (I guess the Bengals want to keep up with the Jones' :grin: ), why not Russell? The Bengals are pondering JaMarcus Russell - Shutdown Corner - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
I guess he was fun to coach when your wide receivers could get open 70 yards down the field. Guy has an amazing arm. Hope he gets his head back on straight and is picked up somewhere.
Totally agree Crip! JR was garbage when he was here, and continued to circle the drain once he made it to the NFL.
He came from a bad neighborhood, got a free education, and earned enough money to take care if his mother and relatives for the rest of their lives. He was a great representative for LSU when he was in school and everyone at school liked him. Next time you come to his school to get plastered on a Saturday be sure to remind him how big of a failure he is.
No source is cited other than NFL.com but allegedly JR is ruling out the CFL and arena football, wants to play in NFL for 2010: JaMarcus Russell ruling out Canadian, Arena leagues as part of comeback effort? - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com Check that, the NFL.com article cites "source with knowledge of the situation" whoever that might be.
I think he will get his chance with some team, somebodies ego is going to believe they can correct his problems, but should he fail at that he may have to rethink his position if he really wants to play in the NFL.
