It's a dispute over guaranteed money from what I've read. The Raiders are just as much to blame in this.

When you consider he's never played a down in the NFL and his endorsements will probably dwarf his contract, it's just stupid what he's doing.

If I were russell I would do the same thing...
it never was about the money... he'll get his payday...
the truth in principal is he doesnt want to play for the raiders... with a team of such a losing history... I wouldnt want to play for them either!!!
He'll re-enter next years draft and go play for a team with a better chance of winning... like the bears or the ravens.

don't paint him as a money hungry football player, as that really isn't the case. all he is asking for is the same guarantees and incentives that every QB that has gone #1 overall has gotten and the raiders are trying to not give it to him.
