Jamarcus Russell Fined For Missing Meetings & Being Overweight

[Fresno]

Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell has been fined by the team for being overweight and being late for team meetings, according to Boomer Esiason, of CBS Sports. 'I don’t want to beat a dead horse here, but it’s come to my attention that he has been fined heavily already for being overweight and for being late to meetings. And, he’s already missed one meeting. I’m telling you right now, the other 52 guys on that roster are looking at (head coach) Tom Cable. They’re looking at Al Davis, and they’re saying we deserve better than this. That’s why every time he goes on the field, what’s the quarterback’s job – to be the leader of the other men on the field with them; to inspire them to greater heights. Right now, he is holding them back,' Esiason said. When asked whether Russell had indeed been fined and missed meetings, Cable said, 'I’m not going to talk about our internal stuff that way.'

Haha I have noticed that too...His face got so fat this off season, I think someone drank and ate a bit too much after the Super Bowl...Russell should have gotten fined for being the worst QB in football

stuff like that's pretty common. It's in the contract.

yes you can. each position has desired weight requirements so that the players conditions can be monitored. sometimes players are even cut due to weight requirements. bout time they fine his fat azz.

Uhh, yes you can and they did. Part of being a professional athlete is being in shape.

he was signed as a qb not ol.. there is a big difference in money between the two positions.. not many teams [even the raiders] want a 350 pound qb that cant show up on time to make his 40mill

Playing weight is in their contract. all that physical crap they do, gets put in, and J-lard had issues in college, you know its in there. Al is setting up for the dreaded "contract violations" dismissal. my opinion only, of course.
