Is JaMarcus Russell Done In The NFL?

JaMarcus Russell cleared waivers which should not come as much of a surprise. No one was going to grab him for the amount of money he would have been owed. If he is signed by someone it will be for the least possible money. Where could Russell land and will he be given another shot? There are a few places that I could see JaMarcus Russell landing. One of the first places would be the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have Peyton Manning and he is going to play a few more years, but signing and working with Russell maybe something they might try.

Another possible destination maybe the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick. Now it seems like a long shot, but we are talking about Bill Belichick here. He likes to prove people wrong and you never know he maybe able to get something out of Russell that others have not been able too. In the end JaMarcus Russell needs to go to a team with an established quarterback and coach that can work with Russell. JaMarcus Russell needs guidance right now and maybe in the right system he can turn his career around. If not he can always try Arena League Football it worked out well for Kurt Warner. Either way it will be interesting to see who does give Russell a chance because I'm betting someone will.
